Governance, security, and compliance capabilities are included as standard, built-in features of the Gemini Enterprise app rather than a separately priced add-on, because organizations shouldn't have to pay extra to adopt agents safely.
Riyaz states that governance, security, and compliance are foundational and come standard with Gemini Enterprise, powered by the same runtime used across developer and end-user surfaces. ✦ AI generated

“Can you elaborate on the relationship between all of these different surfaces that customers have access to now?”
Governance, security, compliance, these are foundation for you to go agentic. And we fundamentally believe you shouldn't have to pay extra to go agentic, right? So, now when you adopt the Gemini Enterprise app to give the power of AI to every employee, those foundational capabilities just come out of the box, they're standard.

11:15that is what we wanted to achieve and and that's why it's this is why I say it's not just a rewrite. It is really a different way of thinking about it, right? Um governance, security, compliance, these are foundation for you to go agentic. And we fundamentally believe you shouldn't have to pay extra to go agentic, right? >> Yeah. So, now when you adopt the Gemini Enterprise app to to give the power of
11:35AI to every employee um those foundational capabilities just come out of the box, they're standard, right? You're not paying extra for because we want you to be able to uh truly adopt AI and every individual in the organization adopt AI. And so, it's not just having a an ability to say, "Hey, there's an app and there's a governance package you buy separately." It's like it's all built in together. And one is
11:58powered by the other. So, when your developer is building an app or agent on on agent platform and running it through that AI runtime, that same runtime is also powering the agents that are in Gemini Enterprise app. Yeah. And all that is governed in a single registry. So, as an IT person or a security person, you have full visibility to this. That is what we're bringing to
12:17life. The aha moment for me in like seeing that come to life is when you go into the the agent platform now, there's a default instance of like a workspace agent that I guess is related to >> Right. The app. But you can see that in the agent registry, you can see you click you can click on it and see like traces and all kinds of things. It has a
12:43type, it's an A2A agent. So, now we're integrating in these frameworks that you've invested in over the past few years. Like it really like it's kind of a nuance, but if you know where you're looking at, you can see that there's a lot of depth now to the platform that you know, goes all the way down. Yeah. And if you're a workspace customer, you can actually call that
13:02agent from Gemini Enterprise app to say, "Hey, workspace, can you build me a slide deck?" And you saw the demo that Erica did yesterday where it will build an entire slide in in line in Gemini Enterprise. And so, this is how the tight integration of agents across different parts of our surfaces all work seamlessly together all powered by a single platform. You talked about openness as a
