IT major Cognizant has expanded its partnership with Google Cloud to accelerate the adoption of agentic AI with a new Gemini Frontier Capability Group.
The group, backed by about 18,000 Cognizant associates, brings together a dedicated global workforce that pairs Google’s AI platform with Cognizant’s domain, industry and engineering expertise as an AI Builder.
It will leverage Gemini, Google Cloud’s AI platform for building, governing, and deploying agents to deliver production-grade, AI solutions designed to drive business outcomes for global enterprises.
It will initially concentrate its engineering capabilities across legacy modernisation, developer experience, autonomous business process agentification and frontier cyber defense.
“Establishing our dedicated Gemini Frontier Capability Group lets our best frontier engineering talent focus entirely on getting frontier AI into production for clients,” said Ravi Kumar S, CEO of Cognizant.
“Deploying AI agents at scale requires trusted partners with deep architectural and integration expertise. Cognizant’s dedicated Frontier Capability Group and their skilling initiative for tens of thousands of engineers on Gemini will help our joint customers accelerate the adoption of autonomous agents throughout the enterprise,”” said Thomas Kurian, chief executive officer, Google Cloud. “
The partnership comes at a time when Cognizant is also applying Gemini internally at scale. As announced in July, the company is deploying Gemini to 100,000 associates this year, with plans to scale up to 200,000, and continues to increase its certification commitment for professionals on the platform.
