More ways to build and scale AI agents with Vertex AI Agent Builder

How customers are achieving more with Agent Builder

“Color Health, with its affiliated medical group Color Medical, operates the nation’s only Virtual Cancer Clinic, delivering clinically guided, end-to-end cancer care across all 50 states, from prevention to survivorship. In partnership with Google Cloud and Google.org, we’re helping more women get screened for breast cancer using an AI-powered agent built with Vertex AI Agent Builder using ADK powered by Gemini LLMs and scaling them into production with Agent Engine. The Color Assistant determines if women are due for a mammogram, connects them with clinicians, and schedules care. The power of the agent lies in the scale it enables, helping us reach more women, collect diverse and context-rich answers, and respond in real time. Early detection saves lives: 1 in 8 women develop breast cancer, yet early detection yields a 99% survival rate.

“PayPal uses Vertex AI Agent Builder to rapidly build and deploy agents in production. Specifically, we use Agent Development Kit (ADK) CLI and visual tools to inspect agent interactions, follow state changes, and manage multi-agent workflows. We leverage the step-by-step visibility feature for tracing and debugging agent workflows. This lets the team easily trace requests/responses and visualize the flow of intent, cart, and payment mandates. Finally, Agent Payment Protocol (AP2) on Agent Builder provides us the critical foundation for trusted agent payments. AP2 helps our ecosystem accelerate the shipping of safe, secure agent-based commerce experiences.” – Nitin Sharma, Principal Engineer, AI

“Geotab uses Vertex AI Agent Builder to rapidly build and deploy agents in production. Specifically, we use Google’s Agent Development Kit (ADK) as the framework for our AI Agent Center of Excellence. It provides the flexibility to orchestrate various frameworks under a single, governable path to production, while offering an exceptional developer experience that dramatically accelerates our build-test-deploy cycle. For Geotab, ADK is the foundation that allows us to rapidly and safely scale our agentic AI solutions across the enterprise” – Mike Branch, Vice President, Data & Analytics
