I’ve got a customer presentation tomorrow, and I love that deeply personalizing a demo now takes 30 minutes instead of hours. A couple of prompts to Google Antigravity, some light supervision, and I’ve got a nice little system deployed to the cloud.

[blog] Gemini Interactions API — One interface for models and agents (https://medium.com/google-cloud/gemini-interactions-api-one-interface-for-models-and-agents-986ffb16021c). So much functionality hiding behind a single API endpoint! Mete does a great job explaining why Gemini model endpoints are capable of more than you think.

[blog] Is AI Disrupting Product Development? (https://itamargilad.com/ai-disruption/) I liked the table in here that showed PM activities and where AI would have a big impact.

[article] 9 Trends Shaping Work in 2026 and Beyond (https://hbr.org/2026/02/9-trends-shaping-work-in-2026-and-beyond). All these are quite interesting to me, and not the typical low-effort lists I see on this topic.

[blog] Predictive Analytics Reimagined with BigQuery Conversational Analytics (https://medium.com/google-cloud/predictive-analytics-reimagined-with-bigquery-conversational-analytics-e8049a2c6173). If you can access the data, you can now get answers from it. That’s a wild shift from even a few months ago.

[article] Snowflake debuts Cortex Code, an AI agent that understands enterprise data context (https://www.infoworld.com/article/4126224/snowflake-debuts-cortex-code-an-ai-agent-that-understands-enterprise-data-context.html). Sense-making products will be all the rage this year.

[article] OpenAI launches new macOS app for agentic coding (https://techcrunch.com/2026/02/02/openai-launches-new-macos-app-for-agentic-coding/). Makes sense. Everyone wants to have an IDE-like thing right now!

[blog] Hear more about interactive world models in our latest podcast (https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/technology/ai/release-notes-podcast-project-genie/). World models are WILD. Listen and watch this podcast episode to see what Project Genie is already capable of.

[blog] What We Got Right with Cloud Foundry (https://www.syntasso.io/post/what-we-got-right-with-cloud-foundry). This platform was absolutely ahead of its time. Cloud Foundry got so many things right. And also adapted too slowly to what people wanted next!

[blog] Towards a science of scaling agent systems: When and why agent systems work (https://research.google/blog/towards-a-science-of-scaling-agent-systems-when-and-why-agent-systems-work/). This links to an interesting paper that shows multi-agent systems performing well on parallel tasks, but degrading on sequential ones.

[blog] Cloud CISO Perspectives: 5 top CISO priorities in 2026 (https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/identity-security/cloud-ciso-perspectives-5-top-ciso-priorities-in-2026/). Good list and worthwhile areas to ensure your security team focuses on.
