Google Cloud and Nokia have deepened their collaboration to integrate Gemini AI models into Nokia’s telecom software stack, aiming to shift network operations toward more automated, AI-driven management, according to a Monday press release.

The partnership introduces six specialized AI agents within Nokia’s Assurance Center, built using Google Cloud’s Agent Development Kit and Gemini’s multimodal reasoning capabilities. The agents are designed to independently handle tasks such as event triage, anomaly detection, KPI analysis, and automated remediation recommendations, while also coordinating through a central router agent.

Nokia said the system is intended to address growing operational complexity in telecom networks, where traditional manual monitoring struggles to keep up with rising volumes of alerts and data. By filtering noise and prioritising genuine faults, the agents aim to reduce downtime and improve reliability, with claimed improvements of 50% to 80% in issue resolution times.

The companies emphasized a “glass box autonomy” model, where AI systems provide confidence-based recommendations but human engineers retain control over critical interventions, with full automation reserved for low-risk scenarios.

The first two agents are already active, with a broader SaaS rollout scheduled for September 2026 on Google Cloud Marketplace, followed by incremental expansion across Nokia’s wider portfolio through 2027.
