Google Cloud Launches AI Assistant Marketplace

Google Cloud introduced a new platform called Agentic Taskforce to help businesses build and run AI assistants — software that automates routine work tasks. The platform includes ready-made assistants from Adobe, Atlassian, and ServiceNow, plus connections to tools like Asana and Workday that companies already use. Google is positioning this to compete with similar offerings from Microsoft and Amazon by emphasizing broad compatibility rather than forcing businesses to switch platforms.
