Google Adds Open Source Agent Executor to Support AI Agents in Production
Google unveiled Agent Executor, an open‑source runtime that lets enterprises run AI agents reliably at scale. The platform adds durable execution, secure sandboxing, session‑consistency controls, and connection‑recovery to keep long‑running, distributed workflows alive despite outages or human approvals. It also supports trajectory branching and works across on‑prem, managed, and custom deployments via Google Antigravity and the Agent‑to‑Agent protocol. Analysts say the new runtime tackles the durability and resumability gaps that have stalled enterprise adoption of AI agents.
