And until now, every team had to build their own tools to bring AI into those environments.
Google just shipped the Data Agent Kit – in preview right now.
Here's what's included:
- VS Code extension – install from the marketplace, start building immediately
- Built-in plugins for Gemini CLI, Cloud Code, and Codex
- Catalog viewer – explore BigQuery datasets, tables, GCS objects, saved queries without switching tools
- Chat with your data directly inside the IDE – no SQL required, powered by Conversational Analytics
- Pipeline builder – describe a workflow, watch it generate the DAG and scaffolding code
- Model comparison – run two models side by side from a single prompt
All skills and MCP tools are open source – customize for your stack, your use cases, your team.
The IDE just became the single surface for the entire data workflow.
