Building Enterprise Agents

🤖 Vertex AI Agent Builder 15m 300 BASE XP

Beyond Chatbots

Vertex AI Agent Builder allows you to create autonomous agents that can take action. Agents in Vertex AI are defined by:

Goals: What the agent is trying to achieve.
Instructions: How the agent should behave.
Tools & Extensions: The APIs the agent can call (e.g., Salesforce, BigQuery, or custom OpenAPI specs).

⚠️ Deprecation Notice: Vertex AI Extensions are deprecated and will shut down after November 26, 2026. Migrate agentic workflows to the Agent Platform using the Agent Development Kit (ADK).

The platform handles state management, tool routing, and dialog flow automatically, allowing you to deploy highly complex agents to production in minutes.
