Google redefines data stack for AI agents

Google has unveiled its Agentic Data Cloud, a new architecture designed to support autonomous AI agents operating around the clock. This platform shifts from a human-scale, reactive intelligence model to an agent-scale system of action. Key components include a Knowledge Catalog for automated metadata curation, a cross-cloud lakehouse enabling BigQuery to query data on AWS S3 without egress fees, and a Data Agent Kit for intent-driven engineering. This evolution addresses the breakdown of traditional data architectures as AI agents become more prevalent, enabling enterprises to activate all their data, both structured and unstructured, with enhanced trust and understanding.
