Chicago, IL — August 25, 2026 — 66degrees, an AI-native consultancy and Diamond Google Cloud Services and Co-sell & Services Partner, today announced it is a launch partner for Google Cloud's Gemini Enterprise for Financial Services. Bringing production-grade, industry-tailored AI to the complex, highly regulated workflows financial institutions run every day.

Most financial institutions can prototype AI; far fewer can put it into production, where it has to hold up to the industry's compliance, security, and reliability demands. 66degrees helps close  that gap. Rather than layering automation onto legacy processes, the firm helps banks, insurers, and capital-markets institutions build for what's next - designing, deploying, and operating AI agents that automate end-to-end workflows on Google Cloud. Through ParadigmOS, its AI-native delivery platform, 66degrees turns Gemini Enterprise for Financial Services into working, adopted capability, grounded in each institution's own governed data and built to keep evolving as the business does.

As a launch partner, 66degrees will collaborate with Google Cloud to help shared customers stand up industry-specific AI across priority use cases such as risk and fraud, client servicing, and back-office operations, with the governance and control that financial services requires.

"The financial services industry doesn't need more AI experiments. It needs AI that works in production, under real regulatory and operational pressure," said Ben Kessler, Chief Executive Officer of 66degrees. "Google Cloud’s Gemini Enterprise gives our customers a foundation to build on, and our job is to turn that foundation into an agentic capability that compounds over time and delivers true measurable outcomes.

"Being named a launch partner reflects the depth of our work with Google Cloud and our shared commitment to financial services customers," said Maria Mejia, Vice President of Alliances at 66degrees. "Together, we're making it faster and safer for institutions to move from ambition to adopted, governed AI, meeting them where their data and their regulatory obligations actually are."

"Scaling enterprise AI effectively requires a combination of advanced technology and deep domain expertise," said Satish Thomas, Vice President, Google Cloud. "66degrees’ commitment to building capabilities around Gemini Enterprise will help our joint financial services customers modernize their workflows, maintain rigorous compliance, and achieve faster time-to-value on Google Cloud."
