The Bottom Line: Google Cloud launches Agents CLI – a new tool for AI coding assistants that revolutionizes the development of AI agents. The solution dramatically shortens the path from concept to production and offers a unified interface to Google Cloud Services.
Google Cloud introduces the new Agents CLI – a specialized tool for AI coding assistants like Gemini CLI and Claude Code. The solution closes the fragmented development landscape and enables developers to deploy AI agents from concept to production in hours rather than weeks.
AI agents are evolving from experimental scripts to full-fledged production services. As language models become increasingly intelligent, the underlying infrastructure for development, evaluation, and deployment remains fragmented and difficult to navigate.
The Google Cloud team – consisting of Ivan Cheung (Software Engineer), Pier Paolo Ippolito (Generative AI Field Solutions Architect), and Elia Secchi (Solutions Specialist) – presents a solution: Agents CLI in Agent Platform. This new tool has been specifically developed for AI coding agents like Gemini CLI, Claude Code, and Cursor.
Agents CLI provides a direct, machine-readable connection to the entire Google Cloud agent stack – including Agent Platform, Cloud Run, and A2A Integration. This transforms a fragmented ecosystem into a seamless, unified production pipeline.
The solution dramatically reduces development time: whereas weeks were previously required, developers can now take their AI agents from idea to production deployment in hours. The concept of “Build Agents with Agents” demonstrates how Agents CLI equips developers and their AI assistants with direct access to the complete cloud infrastructure – without lengthy documentation and with optimized token usage.
