Google Rolls Out Gemini for Government Services: Agent Platform for Federal and State Agencies, Now in Preview

What happened

According to an October 20 post on the Google Cloud blog signed by CEO Thomas Kurian, the new service has five components: skills for government work, secure connectors to agency systems, partner agents, a governed control plane, and an open partner ecosystem. The State of Missouri and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services have been piloting the service over the past few weeks.

Tim Marczewski, Director of AI and Innovation at the Missouri Office of Administration, said in the announcement: “Our citizens expect the government to move at the speed of modern life, not the speed of paperwork. By automating routine work in our workflows, we’re delivering faster, better services to Missourians.”
