Check out Box AI Agent for Gemini Enterprise (Preview): https://cloud.withgoogle.com/agentfinder/product/4701145e-37ff-4f63-9b26-0ab8ad72e85c/
In this interview from the Google Cloud AI Agents in Action event, Yashodha Bhavnani, vice president of product management and head of AI at Box, joins theCUBE’s John Furrier to discuss the paradigm shift from static AI models to autonomous, outcome-driven agents. Bhavnani highlights the massive opportunity in unlocking the 90% of enterprise content that remains unstructured, explaining how Box leverages Google Cloud’s Gemini and Vertex AI to transform messy data (like contracts and HR documents) into structured, actionable intelligence. The conversation explores the strategic depth of the partnership, detailing how multimodal capabilities allow intelligent agents to securely extract context and classify information, effectively turning a company's knowledge base into a dynamic engine for decision-making.
Bhavnani and Furrier also delve into real-world use cases where agentic workflows are redefining productivity, from automating complex insurance claims processing to synthesizing marketing strategies across disparate data sources. Bhavnani emphasizes the critical role of the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol, which allows Box agents to interoperate securely with other business systems, enabling seamless cross-platform automation without compromising data privacy. The segment concludes with a look at how the Google Cloud Marketplace is streamlining the adoption of these tools and Bhavnani’s vision for a future where custom enterprise agents eliminate manual drudgery to accelerate business velocity.

In this Google Cloud AI Agents in Action interview, Quantum Metric CEO Mario Ciabarra joins theCUBE’s John Furrier from the NYSE studio to explore how enterprises are shifting from digital self-service to autonomous, agent-driven experiences. Ciabarra explains how agents are beginning to complete tasks end-to-end on behalf of users – and why “getting digital experiences perfect” matters more than ever as agents have no brand loyalty and will abandon friction instantly. He shares how Quantum Metric is “releasing a new product” to show what agents are doing on company websites, and why precise data is essential to prevent hallucinations as teams use agentic AI to improve customer journeys across banking, airlines, telco, healthcare, gaming, retail and more. The discussion connects directly to Google Cloud’s ecosystem – covering the AI Agent Marketplace, Felix AI built on Google Cloud and how BigQuery and Gemini Enterprise underpin openness, technical depth and trust for agent-to-agent orchestration.
The conversation dives into real enterprise outcomes: moving from probabilistic to deterministic answers (e.g., “Why are sales down today?”) by orchestrating signals across marketing, merchandising, APIs and even weather; evolving employee experiences where a single interface (Gemini Enterprise) executes tasks across multiple back-end systems; and a mesh-style agentic platform that integrates systems such as Quantum Metric and Salesforce while routing through agents instead of point-to-point integrations. Ciabarra shares noteworthy marketplace metrics – about one-third of overall revenue flowing through Google Cloud Marketplace, faster collections for the CFO, and nearly 60% of net-new revenue influenced by GCP – highlighting co-sell momentum. Looking ahead, he describes how websites will personalize and improve themselves autonomously, powered by data on both human and agent interactions, with governance and privacy as core design principles.
