Google Launches Gemini AI Ad Tools for Indian Businesses

During the Google Marketing Live 2026 event, Google announced a new suite of Gemini-powered advertising tools specifically designed for businesses in India. These solutions aim to automate routine marketing tasks and enhance customer engagement across YouTube and Search, with a focus on performance measurement, campaign planning, and customer acquisition.

Key releases include the Business Agent for Leads, a beta tool enabling real-time consumer interaction via advertisements, and YouTube BrandStack, a platform for integrated campaign planning and buying developed in India. The company also introduced AI Brief, AI Max for Shopping, and updated Demand Gen features. These tools integrate across Google Ads, Analytics, and Merchant Center to provide strategic recommendations.

The updates represent a transition from simple automation toward an agentic era where AI serves as a strategic growth partner for enterprises. Education technology company upGrad is currently testing the Business Agent for Leads to optimize its student lead generation process.
