Onix CEO: Google Cloud Has Agentic AI Lead Vs. AWS, Microsoft

Sanjay Singh, CEO of AI channel star Onix, explains why he believes Google Cloud is winning the agentic AI race against AWS and Microsoft and touts Onix's new agentic AI platform, Wingspan.

Fresh off launching its innovative agentic AI platform Wingspan, Google Cloud all-star partner Onix believes Google is winning the agentic AI battle versus competitors AWS and Microsoft on the innovation front.

“With the launch of Agentspace and Agent2Agent Protocol, Google has solved and is now leveraging its strength in enterprise search, structured and unstructured, which others don’t have,” Onix CEO Sanjay Singh told CRN. “If you have to launch an AI agent, the agent needs to get trained on data sets. [Google] agents are now helping them discover those answers very seamlessly from a user perspective.”

Onix’s CEO said AI is only “as good as your data sets and data stack.”

“Google has the world’s best technology in data and data stack because of their heritage. So that helps us to develop faster customer solutions,” Singh said, adding that Agentspace enables Onix to build custom AI agents that apply generative AI contextually and enable AI scale for customers.

Google’s new Agentspace platform binds together Gemini advanced reasoning with Google’s enterprise-quality search and data capabilities that give AI agents access to all of a customer’s data and applications.

The new Agent2Agent protocol enables AI agents to communicate with each other, securely exchange information and coordinate actions across various platforms or services like Box, Cohere, MongoDB, Salesforce, SAP, ServiceNow and Workday.

Google’s ADK Is ‘Very, Very Powerful’

New York-based Onix also sees the Agent Development Kit (ADK), Google’s new open-source framework for developing and deploying AI agents, as a major market differentiator.

“ADK is very, very powerful for agent development and in tools and IP, which makes it open. The more the systems are open, the better flexibility it gives to the customer and the partner community to develop solutions around it,” said Singh.

Onix believes customers will eventually have multiple agents built on multiple platforms. By launching a slew of new AI agentic offerings in 2025 that are open source, Google Cloud is enabling seamless agentic AI interoperability unlike Microsoft and AWS, he said.

“Google has done a very unique thing of allowing customers to have one single place to manage, monitor and to interoperate agents together, which is a very powerful tech,” he said.

“Google also always has this open-source mindset, so it gives you the tooling and IP, it brings the best of search, best development capability, the best [interoperability], working on the world's best data stack,” Singh said. “It's a fully integrated strategy, which will help Google very well in the long run.”

Onix’s New Wingspan AI Platform With Agentspace Integration

Onix is one of Google Cloud’s launch partners when it comes to AI agents. The AI award-winning channel partner has helped over 1,000 enterprises with their AI journey.

“We have been working on the agents-based technology even before it was launched, working closely with Google’s engineering team. We were pulled in for real-life use cases up front,” he said.

Thanks to its longtime expertise in AI and working closely with Google Cloud, Onix recently launched an innovative AI platform dubbed Wingspan.

Wingspan incorporates autonomous and deterministic AI agents, enabling two to three times faster adoption of modern data platforms and domain-specific AI compared with traditional approaches, Singh said.

The platform seamlessly integrates with Google Cloud AI products, including an out-of-the-box integration with Agentspace.

“Wingspan understands the data, how it is structured, what the context of data is as it relates to the business process and KPIs [key performance indicators] and users. So it creates that intelligence up front into the customer’s enterprise,” the Onix CEO said. “Then it decides, ‘OK, now that I understand your data and what you're trying to achieve, here are the steps that you need to do to achieve your modernization and migration journey to adopt a modern cloud data platform, which eventually will drive AI.’”

By unifying data, lineage and processes together with AI, he said Wingspan empowers customers with context-aware and adaptive intelligence through AI agents that operate within the specific business language and processes of a business.

“Everything is extremely fine-tuned for Google Cloud,” said Singh. “We feel that Google is investing in the right areas. And there’s a huge market out there for partners like Onix.”
