Intelligent search with Google Agent Space: Use AI on your own data

Every organization dreams of Googling their own data. With Agent Space, you get even more: intelligent search with complete control over data sources, delivering contextual and relevant answers in real-time.

With Google Agent Space, organizations can build their own AI agents. Instead of searching the open web, Agent Space lets you apply Google’s search power and language models to your internal data – from PDFs and project folders to internal procedures and email exchanges.

The result: a shorter path to answers, less frustration, and more confident decisions.

“We’re seeing significant interest in search and agent-based AI,” says Morten Forfang, Cloud Platform and AI Director at Computas. “People have started expecting information to be served to them, not that they themselves have to run around and find it.”

Build your own AI-assistants with Google Agent Space

Agent Space, a key component of Google Cloud’s generative AI platform, empowers organizations to build their own AI assistants and agent solutions. It leverages your existing documents, systems, and conversation logs as foundational knowledge. This technology is built on the same robust infrastructure as Gemini and Google Search, but it’s specifically designed for public and private sector use, with a strong emphasis on data security and governance.

“The true impact of AI emerges when it’s integrated into the workflow and allowed to interact with the data employees actually use day-to-day,” explains Morten Forfang, Cloud Platform and AI Director at Computas. “Agent Space makes it possible to search your own documents just like you would on Google—and get high-quality, contextual answers.

AI: From Experimentation to Everyday Productivity

2024 has marked a turning point for AI in businesses.

“We’re past the experimental phase,” says Morten Forfang, Cloud Platform and AI Director at Computas. “Many now see that AI can deliver real value creation—but it hinges on having control over your data and being able to use it securely.”

In practice, this means connecting information that’s often scattered across old SharePoint folders, PDF attachments, archives, or isolated silos. Where employees previously had to search, ask colleagues, or wait for answers, they can now get information in real-time, in the right context.

For many, it’s also about freeing up time.

“At Computas, we use generative AI for everything from preparing meetings to creating podcasts from lengthy documents,” Forfang explains. “It’s not about replacing people; it’s about freeing up capacity to focus on what’s more important than routine tasks and tedious work.”

Advice for Businesses Looking to Get Started

Google Agent Space is particularly relevant for organizations with large volumes of information, numerous systems, and employees who frequently ask, “Where can I find that?”

“You don’t need to have everything perfectly in order before you start,” says Forfang. “But you should know where your data resides and have a clear idea of who will use the agents for what purpose. Start small. Identify one problem, one team, and one dataset.”
