Google Gemini Enterprise
Built in: 10 of 18A Google Cloud agent stack: the per-seat Gemini Enterprise app where staff find, build and run agents, plus the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform for building, governing and hosting them.
The short version
you need agents on Teams, WhatsApp and phone lines, document review and browser robots without developer builds, ROI per agent, or a deployment outside Google Cloud.
you are standardised on Google Cloud and Workspace, have developers for ADK, and want Google's agent identity, registry and gateway controls.
Why teams pick ZeaIQ
Google's managed services run in Google Cloud; on-premises means the separately sold Google Distributed Cloud. ZeaIQ runs in your cloud or fully air-gapped.
Google's extraction lives in Document AI, a separate service, and computer use is a developer-built sandbox. ZeaIQ ships document review and teach-by-showing robots.
We found a Slack app and limited Microsoft 365 reach for Gemini Enterprise. ZeaIQ agents answer in Teams, Slack, WhatsApp, email, SMS, on the web and by phone.
Google offers tracing, evaluation and spend caps; we found no hours-saved or value reporting. ZeaIQ reports hours saved, net value and cost per case for every agent.

To be fair
Yes. Every ZeaIQ agent and team publishes an A2A agent card, and ZeaIQ also serves agents over an OpenAI-compatible API and an MCP server, so Google agents and ZeaIQ agents can work together.
Yes. Google Gemini is one of ZeaIQ's nine model providers, and each agent can switch provider, with failover at call time.
Both enforce rules outside the model. ZeaIQ adds eval-gated publishing with a named approver, one kill switch across every surface and a hash-chained audit log, and runs the same controls outside Google Cloud.
Bring one real use case. We build it with you on ZeaIQ and show the governance, audit and ROI views your stakeholders will ask for.
