Openness means giving customers MCP endpoints for their data stores as a fallback to pre-built connectors, so they aren't blocked waiting on a vendor to build a specific connector before they can integrate their data into Gemini Enterprise.

13:24core theme. Can you elaborate on how that openness is expressing itself in the platform? I'm thinking ideas like A2A which I just mentioned and um the various, you know, frameworks and standards that Google Cloud has invested in as well as the connectors and relationships with other software. Yeah, and bring your own MCP that we announced, right? So, MCP everywhere. MCP everywhere, exactly. So, that's the that's the idea is

13:52look, connectors are great and they work, but they are there's a limit to how many connectors you build because folks have very different data stores, right? That they want to connect and get richness of the app and then that's the value of Gemini Enterprise. It brings all the data stores in one place. And so, yes, we will have out-of-the-box connectors, our partners are building connectors, this is all rich. But then on top like

14:14having the ability for you to have an MCP endpoint for all your data store, you can then just work against that MCP endpoint. You don't have to wait for the connector, right? So, as long as the vendor that you have provides an MCP endpoint, you can pull that into Gemini Enterprise app, build against it, and get your customers to or users to start using that in the

14:34organization without having to to really wait on hey, I'm waiting on the vendor to build the connector, right? And we're working with a lot of partners. We announced partnership with ServiceNow from the agents as well as with Oracle. They they launched an agent for their entire lakehouse where you can just query the the agent itself, but also there will be MCP connectors. So, you don't if you

14:53don't want to use the agent, there's direct MCP endpoints as well. And so, the openness is is meet the customers where they are, give them different choices so they can interact and bring all their the endpoints and the data stores in one location. And then the idea is to really break down the organizational silos, which is one of the big value proposition that what Gemini Enterprise does. It has a corpus

15:12of your entire enterprise context all in one place so that you can really get to what you need to get to as well as arm your agents to achieve the outcomes you want to achieve, right? Yeah, yeah. And is MCP part of the governance story? That's been one of the critiques of MCP in the past is that it's kind of separate from the security and identity challenges that enterprises
