Accenture Federal Services and Google Public Sector announced Gemini Launchpads on October 19, with AFS committing to establish a 1,000-person workforce of engineers who work directly on deployments. The initiative aims to help federal agencies move AI agents from experiments into operational use.

The program includes pre-built agents for human resources, finance and supply chain work. It also uses The Forge in Washington, D.C., whose Prototyping Lab offers hands-on workshops for building agents. The workforce commitment sits within the Accenture Gemini Enterprise Business Group; the program aims to support deployment rather than establish that agencies have already adopted its agents.
