Transcripts
all right so Google finally launched an
agent platform and we're going to take a
look at the announcement right now so
this is from Google Cloud next 2024
keynote speech I did a super cut of it
but now I want to talk more specifically
about it and we're going to watch it
together and in a video that I have
planned I'm going to show you how to use
the vertex AI agent Builder yourself and
I've been playing around with it and
it's pretty cool all right so let's
start with the keynote now let's dive
into vertex AI our fast growing
Enterprise AI platform in our vertex AI
model Garden you can access over 130
models including the latest versions of
Gemini par models like Claude from
anthropic and popular open models
including llama Gemma and mrr all right
so first uh the model Garden which seems
pretty cool they have a bunch of
different models that you can use both
open source and closed source and in
fact let me just show it to you all
right so here it is here's the model
garden and we can see it has Gemini
imagine Gemma chirp here's Gemini 1.5
Pro so it is really cool that they have
all these models in the same place
here's stable diffusion Laura they have
it filtered by modality so language
Vision tabular document they also have
it filtered by task so generation
classification Etc so if we click into
Gemini 1.5 Pro we can see all the
information about it use cases
documentation this feels like hugging
face and it's interesting because
hugging face actually showed up at the
Google Cloud next keynote but I guess
they don't see this as competitive and
you can open in vertex AI studio and so
that's where you can start playing
around with it and here is all the
models that they have as they said so
here's llama 2 Claude 3 stable diffusion
mixol 8 x 7B wizard coder I mean they
really have a ton of the top models so
really really cool all right let's keep
watching you choose the best model for
your use case budget and performance
needs and switch between models as you
need to get today we're taking Gemini
1.5 Pro into public preview all right so
this is pretty cool Gemini 1.5 Pro in
public preview I've had access to it for
a while I've been playing around with it
having a million token context window is
absolutely insane being able to drop an
hourlong video into a prompt and it
answer questions about that video is
kind of mind-blowing there's an example
in there where you can load up a movie
and ask it a question about what was on
some like note that somebody took out of
their pocket in a scene that maybe
lasted just a couple dozen frames really
really impressive stuff all right let's
keep watching Gemini offers the world's
largest context window would support for
up to 1 million tokens with Gemini 1.5
Pro customers can now process vast
amounts of information in a single
stream all right I want to pause for a
second they're talking about 1 million
tokens but it has already leaked that
they have 10 million token context
Windows internally that they're working
on these massive context windows are
going to open up brand new use cases and
I'm super excited to see how well they
work including 1 hour video 11 hours of
audio code basis will well over 30,000
lines of code I mean that is a monster
use case being able to have 30,000 lines
of code in a single context window is
really really impressive now of course
most mature code bases are well over
30,000 lines of code so there's still
going to be a need for mapping out code
bases using rag Solutions like pine cone
so we're still very far away from being
able to put an entire codebase in a
single prompt over
700,000 words we're enhancing Gemini 1.5
Pro with the ability to process audio
enabling cross modality analysis for
instance you can use it to search
in audio and video content for example
find a timestamp in a baseball game
video where a commentator says it's out
of here we've seen some amazing examples
of what people can do with this large
context window Sunda mentioned a few and
others include a university Professor is
using it to extract data from a 3,000
page document with texts data tables and
charts in just a a single shot yeah
that's probably one of the coolest use
cases just being able to load up huge
PDFs huge documents and being able to
summarize them easily extract
information from them accurately I'm
really excited about a million token
context window and he also mentioned
audio which is really cool I can load up
an hour and a half long podcast and ask
questions about it and it'll give me
answers based on the context of that
podcast so very very cool okay so I'm
just going to skip ahead a little bit
let's keep watching we're also
announcing the availability of code
Gemma a fine-tuned lightweight open
model designed for coding from the same
technology used to create Gemini all
right so I've used Gemma and frankly it
was very unimpressive but I know they
just released a new version of Gemma so
I definitely have it on my list to test
out and look I am appreciative of any
company that is releasing open source
model so thank you to Google for
releasing Gemma and now maybe I need to
test code Gemma because now they have a
finetuned version of Gemma specific for
code let's keep watching with these
additions Google Cloud continues to be
the only cloud provider to offer widely
used first party third parties and open-
Source
models vertex AI can be used to tune
augment manage and monitor these Models
All right so yeah I mean Google's really
getting in the game now I'm impressed
with all of these announcements their
model builder allows you to fine-tune
allows you to do a whole bunch of stuff
with the models but what I really want
to know about and what I really want to
talk about today is their agent
framework so I'm going to skip ahead and
we're going to take a look at that Vex
AI is the only AI platform to provide a
single platform for model tooling and
infrastructure now let's look at the
types of Agents customers are building
on Google Cloud using generative AI all
right so now they're going to be talking
about customer agents and when I hear
agent I think about autogen I think
about crew aai I think about agents that
are coded given tools given
personalities given backgrounds that can
work together to accomplish and automate
tasks I think when Google is talking
about agents they're mostly talking
about customer service agents this feels
very similar to open ai's Assistance or
their custom gpts product it doesn't
feel like a fully featured agent
framework to me at least not yet but
let's take a look and see what they say
and I'm also going to show you a little
bit of the interface itself first
customer agents you know similar to
great sales and service people customer
agents are able to listen
carefully understand your needs
recommend the right products and
services they work seamlessly across all
your channels the web your mobile app
your point of sale and your call center
and they can be integrated into product
experiences with voice and video video
mercedesbenz is working with us on
customer agents to help people in their
amazing cars let's hear from their CEO
Ola Kines at Mercedes-Benz we want to
offer our customers an exceptional
digital experience that's why we're
equipping our cars with high-end
computers each car should only get
better over time just like a good wine
and with the power of Google cloud and
AI we will make the user experience even
more personalized our partnership across
Google helps us build more intuitive and
customized experiences last year we
announced our partnership with Google
Maps and today more than 3 million
customers are using Google places in
their Mercedes cars and we are applying
Google Cloud AI across a number of other
use cases ranging from a smart sales
assistant improving customer service in
our call centers
and optimizing our marketing the sales
assistant for example helps customers to
seamlessly interact with Mercedes when
booking a test drive or navigating
through mercedes's offerings to find
their next favorite vehicle and now
we're exploring further opportunities to
work with Google Cloud AI such as Next
Level navigation features in addition
we're partnering on one of the most
exciting technology Topics in our
industry automated driving this
beautiful car right here is equipped
with a level three system for
conditionally automated driving we were
the first manufacturer to get it
certified in Germany California and
Nevada for our next Generation internal
development and test platform we will
use Google Cloud as the backbone helping
us to become even more efficient and
flexible in our product development and
Google Cloud's expert knowledge in
processing massive amounts of data and
scaling AI workloads will ensure that
our cars get even more intelligent and
AI driven partnering with the very best
in their respective Fields is an
important part of our software strategy
and Google is the perfect example of
that with Google Cloud Mercedes-Benz is
building new ways to deliver the most
intelligent vehicles to our customers
and to create personalized intuitive
experience
we're really excited about working
together thank you for having me okay
this is the biggest missed opportunity
I've ever seen why isn't there an agent
built into to the infotainment system in
the Mercedes that seems like the most
obvious use case when you're driving you
can't use your hands to text or type or
search or do anything you could simply
be talking to an agent to accomplish all
of these different things for you I
don't know why they wouldn't have done
that I'm very surprised to see that they
just skipped over that super obvious and
super valuable use case we're inspired
by the agents that customers are
creating using a gen generative AI
platform and all right so a lot of good
brands on here ADT Verizon Target
discover Best Buy Etc and they're all
building agents but I think they're all
basically just customer service Bots
which is pretty disappointing that's the
most easy obvious simple use case and I
really think it speaks to how safe
Google is playing it or maybe they're
just thinking about it at the Enterprise
level but there's really some
cuttingedge stuff they could be doing
which I wish they were our models
InterContinental Hotels group will
launch a travel planning capability to
help each of you their guests plan their
next vacation ADT is building an agent
to help customers select and set up home
security systems Verizon gives agents
better recommendations so these all seem
like customer facing Bots whether it's
customer service or sales and that's
fine that there's definitely a lot of
money in those use cases but that's not
as exciting to me magalo one of Brazil's
largest retailers has put generative AI
right at the heart of its customer
service ing built a chatbot to enhance
self-service and improve answer quality
and Target uses AI on the Target app and
website and by the way I just want to
point out Google has had a product that
does all of this for a very long time my
previous company used it it was called
dialogue flow and it still is a product
within the Google cloud services Suite
but it was very brittle it was very hard
to set up so I understand why they're
kind of relaunching these capabilities
but still I'm a little disappointed that
they're not more future thinking in
their capabilities Minnesota's
Department of Public Safety helps
non-english speakers get licenses and
other services with real-time
translation Best Buy is building an
assistant that will help troubleshoot
product issues reschedule or combine
order deliveries or manage
software discover Financial Services is
using search and synthesis across
detailed policies and procedures during
customer service calls and oranges fr
French language agent is grounded in
support knowledge transforming their
help and contact site and their customer
experience Oppo and OnePlus leaders in
smart devices are incorporating our
Gemini models and Google Cloud AI into
their phone to deliver Innovative
customer experiences including news
audio recording summaries AI toolbox and
much much more you know the opportunity
for customer customer agents is
tremendous to help each of you build
customer agents faster we're introducing
vertex AI agent Builder you can now
create customer agents that are
amazingly powerful in just three key
steps all right so this is really what
the agent Builder is it is not to the
level of sophistication of an autogen or
a crew AI it's really just a product
that seems very similar to custom gpts
from open AI first you can use Gemini
Pro to create free flowing humanlike
conversations with text voice images and
video as inputs and personalize them
with custom voice
models second you can use natural
language instructions to control the
conversation flow and guide it on
specific topics you don't want it to
discuss such such as current events in
the same way that you train your human
agents you can also control when it
hands over to a human agent with
transcription and summarization of its
conversation history to make these
transitions extremely smooth third you
can improve response quality with
vector-based and keyword-based search to
connect your internal information and
the entire web you can also use
extensions to complete tasks for
customers like updating contact
information booking a flight ordering
food and many more and you can integrate
Enterprise data from operational
databases like
allb Predictive Analytics with big quy
and SAS applications like service now
let's take a look at an example of a
customer agent in action please welcome
developer Advocate Amanda Lewis
thank you
Thomas so last night I was watching a
video of this band and I love the
keyboard player shirt so I was thinking
I'd really like to be wearing that shirt
tomorrow night but can I find it in my
size and in time to be rocking it at the
concert here in
Vegas let's head over to my favorite
store oh this is uh so scripted and
Polished it's a little bit cringy they
just launched a customer agent and it
leverages Gemini and Vector search to
deliver a seamless shopping experience
all right I I can't get over it I I just
I don't want these types of products
personally I know they're valuable but
they're out there these have already
existed for a while and they're talking
about it like it's so Cutting Edge
customer shopping assistance customer
support agents sales agents it's not
interesting to me so let me play the
rest of this demo and then I'm actually
going to show you vertex really quickly
and and you're going to understand why
I'm a little bit disappointed with
Google's announcements today what can we
help you find well I'd like that shirt
but I guess I have a few other
specifications as well so find me
a checkered shirt like the keyboard
player is
wearing I'd like to see
prices where to buy it
and how
soon can I be wearing it going to
include the
video now the customer all right that's
cool I'll give him credit for that being
able to just drop a video and say tell
me where I can buy the shirt that that
person's wearing that is really really
cool although again it's just for the
shopping use case I would have liked to
see something a little bit more future
thinking agent is using Gemini's
multimodal reasoning to analyze the text
and video to identify exactly what I'm
looking for then Gemini turns it into a
searchable format how cool is this it
found the checkered shirt I'm looking
for right and some other great options
in no time and that's because these
results harness Google's trusted search
Technologies which ensures customers
like me get the right results in record
time the suggested products are grounded
in Syle Fashion's inventory and
historical performance data to make sure
customers leave happy and with that
purchase in hand okay so I'm going to
pause there let me show you vertex aai
agent Builder now all right so this is
their agent Builder I just want to show
it to you quickly I'm going to make a
full video all about it but I I want to
show it to you because it's really
telling about how Google is thinking
about agents and it's not how I think
about agents so over here we can create
a new agent I've already created one
weather agent we'll click into it and
you give it a name you give it goal and
then you can give it instructions one
thing that I really do like about it is
that the instructions can be very simple
and you simply can just list them like
this ask the user for their location and
then use and then anytime you have a
dollar symbol right there you can easily
insert agents or tools that interface is
very very nice so I simply say ask the
user for their location use tool weather
and the tool weather is one that I've
already created let me show you over
here we have our tools okay so I created
this weather tool I have it as type
function I have no description but you
don't need one and then you simply have
the input parameter schema and the
output parameter schema here's where I'm
really confused where's the actual code
go I don't see a place to put code
anywhere you can put input parameters
and output parameters but how do you
actually say Okay I want to hit this
third party API and this is actually one
of the samples that they give and I just
don't understand it if you do let me
know in the comments but basically where
do I actually put it so let's see how it
responds okay so I have the weather
agent selected right here let's test it
out what's the weather in Los Angeles it
formatted it properly we have the tool
input Fahrenheit Los Angeles California
and then the output temperature zero
where does it actually get the
temperature from submit function output
I'm sorry I can't provide weather
information this is literally the
example that they provide in the
dashboard it's very confusing it's
definitely not how I think about agents
but they're making progress and so I
appreciate their efforts so far one
thing that I do want to show you that's
really cool is you can easily have all
of these Integrations by the way here's
dialog flow messenger which is that
product that I just told you about which
is kind of their previous iteration of
their agent framework but you can
integrate twillo Discord all of these
really easily which is super nice but
these are basically just tools and so
yeah that is the entire vertex AI agent
Builder it is essentially just custom
gpts by open AI so we'll go create you
can list tools and agents and it has a
code interpreter you can also add other
tools here but again I don't really
understand how tools work and so I think
this is the code you basically have to
format it in this yaml or Json format
rather than kind of just pasting in
python or whatever language you're most
familiar with which is okay it's not
great the thing I like about it is it
does have built-in authentication which
is nice and makes it really easy and you
can also have TLS certificates right
there but definitely not straightforward
to use and I would prefer simp simply
just defining a method here and allowing
the agents to call that function
whenever they need it all right so now I
think they're starting to get into
something more interesting which is
agents in the workplace meaning agents
that can actually perform tasks and
accomplish things essentially kind of AI
employee so let's take a look first you
create a custom model in the ways that
we've shown before from there you
connect them to all your company and web
data
this can also be done with translation
so that your company information is
available regardless of language
similarly we support multimodal inputs
including videos call Audio images in
addition to text now you will want to
ground that in Enterprise truth using
databases like alloy DB big query and
data from Enterprise apps like sap and
announcing today
HubSpot let's take a
interesting that they're mentioning
HubSpot because it is rumored that
Google is going to acquire HubSpot
although it is just a rumor right now
and that's pretty cool that you can
actually feed in all of your HubSpot CRM
data into the agent so let's keep
watching at an example of an employee
agent in action please welcome developer
Advocate Gabe
Vice thanks
Lea hi folks so I know you all want to
hear about awesome AI stuff that's
coming but I need to talk to you for a
minute about my annual benefits
enrollment see I forgot I have to finish
signing up by today and as you can see I
might be a little bit busy so if you
don't mind let's go ahead and look at
this open enrollment email together okay
yep I've got a deadline I knew that
thank you I've got FSA stuff I've got an
online portal from my company okay
there's a lot here uh H they included
video let's see if this makes my life
easier ah okay so it's almost an hour
long yeah I'm not going to have time to
review all of this stuff let's see how
this employee agent that we've developed
using Google workspace Gemini models and
vertex AI might be able to help me as
you can see it's integrated directly
into my Google Chat so I don't have to
context switch while I'm figuring all
the stuff out first things first let's
have it summarize the email and the
video that it sent me all right that's
awesome I have been wanting to build an
automation using AI that can read an
email look at all the context from that
thread and then all of the context of
all of my emails to try to write a draft
that I can simply either edit or send
and that is kind of my dream cuz I get a
ton of emails I wish I had that and I
think that's where they're headed with
this product summarize the body and
attached video from my recent email with
subject open
enrollment
closing so behind the scenes the agent
is referencing that email body and its
attachments as context in the prompt
using retrieval augmented generation
that is awesome awesome okay that is
very very cool that way its response is
limited to the content that matters to
me the Gemini model's multimodal
capabilities allows the agent to
understand and reason across text audio
and video from a single prompt I mean
this is a way quicker read okay good and
I can immediately see that the medical
plants have been completely revamped
this year let's go ahead and jump into
the benefits portal to see more now I've
already done my dental and my vision but
I procrastinate I mean save
the most important plan for last my
medical plan let's see how this option
Stacks against my existing coverage
compare these coverage all right that's
really cool that you can basically just
invoke a Google drive folder or a Google
Drive agent I think and then ask it
additional information I'm very
impressed with that by the way I didn't
see anywhere in the vertex AI agent
Builder where I could accomplish
something like this I think this is all
just built in by Google behind the
scenes into their products this isn't
something that you'll be able to build
but we'll see options to the PDF doc I
have on the Platinum
plan the Gemini model's long context
window paired with vertex extensions
enables the agent to cross reference
large amounts of data from a variety of
sources including unstructured data like
PDFs leveraging Gemini's Advanced
reasoning capabilities the agent is able
to understand the complex details my
current plan and compare it with the new
options for 2025 and since the
Enterprise grounding features links me
to the exact data that Gemini used to
draw its conclusions which you can see
linked here I can confidently trust its
recommendation that the gold plan is
best for me and done so now let's get a
summary of my coverage let's say my
house is multilingual so I'd like to
have it in Japanese also please generate
a summary of 2025 benefits in a Google
doc in both English and
Japanese although my source material is
in English the Gemini model support for
over 40 languages enables it to
understand and respond in Japanese and
here we go all right this is cool again
but again this is all stuff that's built
into the Google workspace product so
very cool I'll definitely be using all
of this but I wish they kind of added a
lot of functionality into the agent
Builder that I could use now that I've
officially completed enrollment my
daughter's going to need braces this
year I'm going to skip over this I get
the demo fine the agent knows that I'm
at Google Cloud next because it's
integrated with yeah so essentially now
you have a personal agent to do
everything for kind of your work Gmail
Google Docs calendar very cool I'll
definitely be using it so the next thing
that they're going to talk about is a
new product in their Google Suite or
their Google Docs Suite of products so
they have docs spreadsheets they have
presentations and now they're going to
add video which is really cool let's
take a look we believe that everyone can
be a great Creator and a great
Storyteller but the formats and tools
for storytelling at work haven't really
changed that
much how many times have you heard
should we start with a dock or a
deck well we can do a lot
better I'm absolutely thrilled to
announce our newest workpace app Google
vids sitting alongside Google Docs
sheets slides Google vids is an AI
powered video creation app for work with
Gemini in bids you have a video writing
production and editing assistant
allinone let me show you how simple it
is to get started with
bids now after week with all of you here
at next I'm going to want to share a
recap video to share all the excitement
with my
organization when I open up vids Gemini
helps me get started I simply type in a
prompt using an existing document for
context all right that's really cool
that you can pass in context that easily
so I'm very impressed that everything
that they're releasing with their kind
of workspace agents seems to be very
integrated with itself which is to be
expected but it is very cool now based
on that prompt Gemini suggests a
narrative outline for the story that I
could easily customize and
edit I choose an expressive style and
vids Works its magic so wow just like
that I get the first draft with
beautifully designed fully animated
scenes complete with relevant stock
media and music and even a generated
script yeah all right that's very cool I
wonder where it's pulling the ated stock
media so it's not actually creating
video AI video but it is kind of pulling
together different b-roll and different
title sections uh and it's kind of
putting the whole thing together so
pretty impressive all right so this is
something I'm really excited about uh
actual agents being able to code with
you and I'm hopeful this is going to be
really cool because of Gemini's massive
context window so let's watch this video
so let's take a look at what's coming
for code assist with Gemini 1.5 Pro
leveraging a 1 million token context
window I'm a new developer with symbol
Outfitters and today we show recommended
products to customers only after they've
made an initial
selection these suggestions are powered
by our custombuilt recommendation
service based on previous
purchases but now the marketing
department has asked me to move this
feature to our homepage so that
customers can see products that they
might be interested in as as soon as
they get to our
site our design department has created a
mockup of what they would want this
experience to look like in figma and for
the developers out there you know that
this means we're going to need to add
padding in the homepage modify some
views make sure that the configs are
changed for our
microservices and typically it would
take me a week or two to even just get
familiarized with our company's code
base which has over a 100,000 lines of
code across 11 services
but now with Gemini Cod assist as a new
engineer on the team I can be more
productive than ever and can accomplish
all of this work in just a matter of
minutes this is because Gemini's code
Transformations with full codebase
awareness allows us to easily reason
through our entire
codebase and in comparison other models
out there can't okay so this looks like
VSS code which is kind of interesting
given this is Google but I guess this is
built into V code this is some kind of
extension I'm not sure let's keep
watching handle anything beyond 12 to
15,000 lines of code and even then they
struggle to get it
right Gemini inside of code assist is so
intelligent that we can just give it our
business requirements including the
visual design so let's ask here I am
prompting Gemini to add a for you
recommendation section on the homepage
all right and again very very cool that
you can just drop a Google Drive link
right into Gemini and it will grab that
context so I'm impressed by their
ability to just essentially drop any
source of information at any time into
Gemini along with an image of the future
state to show the improved design almost
immediately Gemini code assist starts by
reasoning about the code changes that it
needs to make and has insights an
experience teammate would have for
example because we asked Gemini Cod
assist to change the recommendation
service it was able to find the
recommendation function and extract out
the exact details needed to make the
call to the recommendation
service it highlights the files needing
to be changed and reveals the reasoning
behind its recommendations using our own
codebase for
context Gemini Cod assist doesn't just
suggest code edits it provides clear
recommendations and make sure that all
of these recommendations are aligned
with symbol Outfitter security and
compliance
requirements in code assist we've also
added an option to apply the edit which
keeps me as the developer and the driver
seat so let's take a look at the source
code changes that Gemini code assist has
made in our code
base it looks like we have multiple
edits across two files handlers. Go
and also
home.html Gemini cist even applied these
changes to the full
repository and to put this in context no
pun intended it would have taken me over
70 hours nonstop to even just read
through all of these files all right I
think that's kind of a little bit of BS
marketing talk because you don't
necessarily have to read through every
single file every single line of code to
actually make modifications the code
base but fine I understand what she's
saying just like I would with any code
change my next step is to check the
workout by testing out the modified app
locally so let's try it and there we go
the for you recommendation section is
exactly what our marketing team was
asking for all right so very cool and
this is a very simple marketing page
that they're updating so it's kind of a
simple use case but I'm excited to try
it out anything with AI encoding you
know I'm all about I'll definitely make
a video about that as well so I think
I'm going to call this video right here
Google announced some really cool stuff
I wish the agent Builder would have been
more sophisticated but overall all of
the functionality that they're adding
into the Google workspace product is
very welcome so if you liked this video
please consider giving a like And
subscribe and I'll see you in the next
one
