Blog / Google NEXT ’25 Was the Inflection Point for Intelligent Planning — Pi Agent Makes It Real
Las Vegas, April 2025 — At Google Cloud Next ’25, the spotlight was clear: AI is no longer a future bet. It’s the new operating system for the enterprise. And the world isn’t waiting.
As leaders from across industries gathered to see what’s next in AI, planning, and application development, Pluto7 saw something different: the future we’ve already started building.
What we’ve been building—Planning in a Box – Pi Agent—is not just aligned with where Google Cloud is headed. It’s already there.
The Shift Is Happening: AI is Now the Platform
Day 1: Setting the AI Foundation
Day 1, led by Thomas Kurian and Sundar Pichai, introduced the next wave of AI-first infrastructure and capabilities — and in a defining moment, Thomas Kurian recognized Pluto7 live on stage in front of 40,000 attendees at Allegiant Stadium for its role in driving AI-powered planning.
- Gemini 2.5 Pro & Flash models—more powerful, more efficient, and designed for multimodal reasoning.
- Ironwood TPU—Google’s fastest and most energy-efficient chip yet, built to run massive AI workloads.
- The AI Hypercomputer—a fully integrated AI stack for training, tuning, and deploying AI at scale.
- Upgrades to Vertex AI, Imagen 3, Veo 2, and Chirp 3—bringing high-quality image, video, and voice generation to enterprise use cases.
- Workspace AI with Help Me Analyze, Audio Overviews, and intelligent automation inside Google Sheets and Docs.
The takeaway? Google Cloud is making AI accessible, powerful, and integrated—everywhere.
Day 2: Developer-First, AI-Native Everything
Led by Brad Calder, Stephanie Wong, and Richard Seroter, Day 2 focused on the future of software and intelligent agent development:
- Gemini for Developers and Gemini Code Assist enable developers to co-create software with AI—not just code faster, but smarter.
- Launch of Vertex AI Agent Builder, Google Agentspace, and the open protocol Agent2Agent (A2A) for intelligent agent collaboration.
- Multimodal reasoning, long-context windows, and advanced natural language processing became core developer capabilities.
- Google introduced Data Agents, security agents, and enterprise-grade deployment toolkits that are production-ready.
Google isn’t just building tooling. They’re building the infrastructure for intelligent software ecosystems.
How Pluto7 Is Already Delivering What’s Next
This is exactly the layer Pluto7 has already activated with our platform:
Planning in a Box: An AI Platform — Powered by Pi Agent
We’ve built an AI platform tailored for supply chain, inventory, and demand planning across manufacturing, retail, high-tech, and more.
At its core is Pi Agent, our intelligent multi-agent system.
Meet Pi Agent
- Conversational and contextual: Planners interact with Pi using natural language to surface insights and drive workflows.
- Autonomous and proactive: Pi Agent doesn’t wait for queries—it monitors data in real-time, recommends actions, and executes tasks autonomously when needed.
- Glassbox methodology: Complete transparency into how decisions are made. No black box here—every forecast, every insight, is explainable and auditable.
Specialized Agents for Specific Tasks
Within the Planning in a Box platform, Pi orchestrates domain-specific agents:
- Ron (Demand Agent): Delivers more accurate forecasts by analyzing signals across sales history, macroeconomic data, and demand patterns.
- Kassy (Inventory Agent): Balances stock levels, avoids markdowns, and reduces carrying costs—working in real time across warehouse, retail, and digital channels.
- Alex (Finance), Bob (Defect), Victor (Vendor), Will (Returns) — each one built for a specific domain, powered by a unified data foundation.
These aren’t generic agents. They’re built for line-of-business users like supply chain planners and inventory managers—the people closest to the problem.
Built for Speed, Accuracy, and Impact
- 10x faster insights with generative AI built on Google Cloud’s Vertex AI and Cortex Framework.
- Master Ledger for unified planning data — connecting ERP, CRM, spreadsheets, PDFs, and even sensor data.
- Rapid ROI — installations in 24 hours, planning agents active in weeks, and measurable outcomes in 4 weeks.
- Modular AI Planning Apps for Inventory Positioning, Demand Sensing, S&OP, and Defect Reduction.
Planning for the Future of Enterprise AI
While others explore what’s possible, Pluto7 is deploying what’s proven. Our customers — from fast fashion to semiconductors — are using Pi Agent to:
- Reduce inventory carrying costs by 20–50%
- Improve forecast accuracy by 25%
- Turn planners into curators of insights, not creators of spreadsheets
Let’s Build What’s Next — Together
If you’re navigating the AI journey and looking for real-world impact, now is the time to act.Planning in a Box – Pi Agent is now available on Google Agentspace, making it easier than ever to bring intelligent planning to your enterprise.
