Alphabet Launches Gemini 3.5 Flash With Built-In Computer Use Capability

Who it hits first

• Indian IT-services / SaaS-automation vendors face a cheaper native agentic-AI substitute for custom automation and RPA-style deliverables
• ER&D/design-services (TATAELXSI) and SaaS-product automation (CAPILLARY, AMAGI) face commoditization of agentic workflows
• Note: Alphabet/Google are US-listed and not in the Indian knowledge graph — the India impact is an indirect 2nd-order competitive pressure on the IT cluster, not a direct corporate event on a domestic name

Who may gain

• AI-infrastructure / HPC server builders (NETWEB) gain from rising AI inference-compute demand
• Cybersecurity and enterprise adopters benefit as agentic adoption expands the attack surface and lowers automation cost
