Following the exciting preview at Google Cloud Next 2024, we’re thrilled to announce the expanded availability of Partner Companion to Google Cloud Services Partners!

At Google Cloud, we believe in the power of our partners. Partner Companion leverages generative AI to give them the information they need to thrive. It’s not just a showcase of Google AI technology; it’s also a strategic investment in our partners’ success. It’s designed to elevate the professional services they deliver, ensuring their customers receive the highest quality Google Cloud solutions.

What is Partner Companion?

If you’re a Google Cloud partner, Partner Companion is ready to amplify your customer engagement journey. This AI-powered collaborator harnesses Vertex AI’s generative AI technology to deliver instant, personalized access to the vast knowledge base you need to excel. Think of Partner Companion as your dedicated Google Cloud advisor, grounded in the zone of service delivery. It’s trained on product documentation, service knowledge repositories, and delivery training and enablement resources available in the Delivery Enablement Portfolio (DEP). It is also trained to refer you to conversational agents trained in adjacent zones, such as Delivery Navigator methodologies and templates. Over time, you will see more convergence of these interfaces, providing you with even simpler interactions.
