Gemini Enterprise Preview and Shopee Partnership

Alphabet made Gemini 3.1 Pro available in preview to enterprise customers and developers, aiming to integrate its AI products into business workflows. The company also partnered with Sea Ltd. to develop an agentic AI shopping prototype for Shopee’s e-commerce platform. Agentic AI refers to artificial intelligence designed to take autonomous actions within applications.

These product and commerce initiatives are seen as concrete steps toward monetizing AI in enterprise and e-commerce settings.

Strategic Expansion and Investor Response

Reports identified the Gemini enterprise rollout and the Shopee partnership as key drivers of renewed investor attention. Alphabet is also in talks to make a significant investment in a neocloud business, part of efforts to expand its cloud infrastructure for AI customers.

Additionally, Alphabet is exploring financial strategies and partnerships to broaden the market for its AI chips beyond internal use. This outreach aims to enlarge the addressable market for the company’s accelerator technology.

Alphabet’s advertising business and leadership in growing industries support its ability to remain free-cash-flow positive despite increased AI spending. This financial strength underpins the company’s capacity to advance product rollouts, partnerships, and hardware initiatives without disrupting cash flow.
