Google is recasting its data and analytics portfolio as the Agentic Data Cloud, an architecture it says is aimed at moving enterprise AI from pilot to production by turning fragmented data into a unified semantic layer that agents can reason over and act on more reliably at scale. The new architecture builds on Google’s existing data platform strategy, bringing together services such as BigQuery, Dataplex, and Vertex AI, and elevating their capabilities in metadata, governance, and cross-cloud interoperability into what the company describes as a shared intelligence layer. That intelligence layer strategy is underpinned by the new Knowledge Catalog, an evolution of Dataplex Universal Catalog, that the company said uses new capabilities to extend its metadata foundation into a semantic layer mapping business meaning and relationships across data sources.

The company said the platform builds on its existing database engine and governance infrastructure, while adding new capabilities and more tightly integrating existing ones, including AI Studio, the Tera natural-language workspace, Tera Agents, Elastic Compute on Teradata Cloud, and the upcoming Teradata Factory for on-premises AI workloads.

The Fitbit Air can be preordered today and will be available starting May 26th. | Image: Google It's a Whoop dupe. That was my first thought when I saw the new $99 Google Fitbit Air. You can hardly blame me. The band is screenless with a metallic fabric clasp. My eyes flickered between the Fitbit Air and my wrist, where I'm wearing a Whoop MG. Was I not seeing double?
