Today at the Google Cloud Public Sector Summit, we announced Gemini for government services, a purpose-built industry solution built around five core architectural components: ✔️Skills for Government Work: Reusable instructions and context, written by domain experts, that teach Gemini to run specific tasks while directly applying governing statutes and agency standard operating procedures. ✔️Open Access to Systems: Secure connectors link Gemini directly to core agency databases and applications—including @salesforce, @Oracle, and @ServiceNow—as well as authoritative federal sources like the Federal Register and eCFR. ✔️Partner Agent Integrations: Built-in capabilities from public sector software providers that agencies can deploy right away to handle complex operations like public records discovery and batch redaction under a central control plane. ✔️Governed Control Plane: A single, secure environment for compliance teams to set and enforce strict policies using VPC Service Controls, CMEK, and Assured Workloads. ✔️Model Choice Flexibility: It orchestrates across multiple models to deliver optimal quality and lower agency costs—routing high-volume document parsing and routine records sweeps to fast, low-cost models, while reserving high-reasoning models for complex policy analysis.
