Transforming APIs into Governed Agentic Tools on the Google Cloud Agentic Platform Turn your APIs into secure, governed agentic tools on the Google Cloud Agentic Platform. Join Specialist Christophe Lalevée on May 7 for a technical deep dive into AI productization. Scheduled at 5 PM CEST / 11 AM EDT to maximize coverage for developers across EMEA and AMER, this session explores the integration and governance frameworks required to scale enterprise-ready AI with confidence. Transitioning AI from a sandbox prototype to an enterprise-grade system is a major hurdle. A monolithic script won't suffice for widespread deployment. To achieve true scale and reliability with Gemini, organizations must adopt service-oriented micro-agent architectures, establish Zero-Trust security, and implement rigorous EvalOps. Master the "Agentic Maturity Ladder" to ensure your AI & Agentic solutions are robust, secure, and ready for the real world. Watch the deep dive and read the developer blog to learn more. Turn your API sprawl into an agent-ready catalog As organizations scale, APIs often become scattered across multiple gateways, creating "blind spots" that hinder AI adoption. To solve this, we’ve introduced two new capabilities for Apigee API hub: a new integration with API Gateway to automatically centralize API metadata into a single control plane, and a specification boost add-on (now in public preview). This add-on uses AI to enhance your API documentation with the precise examples and error codes that AI agents need to function reliably. Read the full blog post to get started. Webinar | April 16: AI Command & Control As AI agents move from experimental pilots to core enterprise functions, governance is the critical next step. Join Google Cloud expert Satyam Maloo for a webinar on April 16th at 11:00 AM IST to learn how to architect a secure AI Management layer. We’ll explore developing governed MCP endpoints, managing tool access to enterprise data, and operationalizing AI with robust audit logs. The session includes a live demo of these frameworks in action on Google Cloud. RSVP here. Modernizing and Decoupling Event Ingestion with Apigee In modern cloud-native architectures, decoupling producers from consumers is critical for building resilient systems. While Google Cloud Pub/Sub provides a scalable backbone, exposing it directly to external clients can introduce security and management overhead. This new guide explores how to leverage Apigee as an intelligent HTTP ingestion point. Learn how to handle security, mediation, and traffic control before messages reach your internal bus using the PublishMessage policy or Pub/Sub API. Read the full guide. Introducing Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite, our fastest and most cost-efficient Gemini 3 series model. Built for high-volume developer workloads at scale, 3.1 Flash-Lite delivers high quality for its price and model tier. Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite can tackle tasks at scale, like high-volume translation and content moderation, where cost is a priority. And it can also handle more complex workloads where more in-depth reasoning is needed, like generating user interfaces and dashboards, creating simulations or following instructions. Starting today, 3.1 Flash-Lite is rolling out in preview to enterprises via Vertex AI and developers via the Gemini API in Google AI Studio. TechTalk: Implementing Device Authorization Grant (RFC 8628) for Apigee Learn how to authorize "headless" devices like Smart TVs or AI agents that lack keyboards and browsers. Join our Community TechTalk on March 19 (5PM CET / 12PM EDT) to go under the hood of Apigee X/Hybrid. We’ll cover the real-world mechanics of state management, polling, and human-in-the-loop security patterns for devices and autonomous agents. Pro-level image generation gets faster and more accessible with Nano Banana 2 Nano Banana 2 is our state-of-the-art image generation and editing model. It delivers Pro-level image generation and editing at the speed you expect from Flash — making the quality, reasoning, and world knowledge you loved about Nano Banana Pro more accessible. Learn more about the model here. The Intelligent Path to Compliance: Transforming Regulatory QC with Google Cloud Reducing "Refuse to File" (RTF) risks and submission cycle times is critical for life sciences leaders. Google Cloud’s Regulatory Submission Semantic QC Auditor leverages Gemini and RAG architecture to transform Quality Control from a manual burden into an active, intelligent workflow. By automating semantic cross-referencing, narrative coherence checks, and dynamic guidance-based auditing, this solution ensures rigorous accuracy and auditability. Operating within a secure GxP-ready environment, it empowers teams to detect subtle inconsistencies and generate remediation plans without sacrificing data privacy. Learn more. Introducing Gemini 3.1 Pro on Google Cloud. 3.1 Pro is a noticeably smarter, more capable baseline for complex problem-solving. We’re shipping 3.1 Pro at scale, building upon our goal to help you transform your business for the agentic future. Learn more about the model’s capabilities here. Gemini 3.1 Pro is available starting today in preview in Vertex AI and Gemini Enterprise. Developers can access the model in preview via the Gemini API in Google AI Studio, Android Studio, Google Antigravity, and Gemini CLI.Community TechTalk: AI-Powered Apigee Development with strofa.io Join the Apigee community on February 26 for a deep dive into strofa.io. Guest speaker Denis Kalitviansky will demonstrate how this new AI-powered tool automates and orchestrates Apigee development, from local emulators to large-scale hybrid environments. Discover how to scale your API management and streamline team collaboration using the latest in AI-driven automation. proxy.basepath without leaving your terminal.kubectl , while developers reference them as secure flow variables—ideal for high-compliance and GitOps workflows.
