Architecture

Raw conversational data from 22 million annual calls is ingested into BigQuery, which acts as the central Agentic Data Cloud for structured and unstructured data. Sensitive Data Protection scrubs private details so Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform can analyze every call for sentiment and root causes. Those insights power Generative Playbooks and Gemini Enterprise for CX, which provides multimodal customer support, cross-channel memory, and real-time Agent Assist coaching.
