Seat prices weren't found on Google's pages, onboarding needs a billing account and a person, and the API also reads OAuth tokens from a URL query parameter.\n\n**Lens (Thought Industries).** Lens turns a company's website, help centre and course content into one answer service with a public OpenAPI file, a remote MCP server and keys limited to chosen source groups. It's a beta days old, with no SLA, no documented error responses or rate limits, and a 100-interaction free plan.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Gemini Enterprise\n\n1. Create a Gemini Enterprise app first. StreamAssist needs its APP_ID, and the caller needs `discoveryengine.assistants.assist`\n2. Send `X-Goog-User-Project` with your project ID when calling with Application Default Credentials\n3. Pass the `session` name from the final stream message on the next call to keep context. Leaving it empty starts a new session\n4. Read `connectorAuthErrors` in the response. A connector that failed sign-in is skipped and the answer comes from the rest\n5. Use the A2A URL returned by Agent Registry verbatim. It takes the project number, not the project ID\n6. Send the token in the `Authorization: Bearer` header, not as `?access_token=`, which the API also accepts and which puts the token in the URL\n\n### Lens (Thought Industries)\n\n1. Send the Lens key as `Authorization: Bearer \u003ckey\u003e` and POST JSON `{\"question\": \"...\"}` (1 to 2,000 characters) to https://api.lens.thoughtindustries.com/v1/ask\n2. Pass the returned `sessionId` on follow-up questions to keep context\n3. Cite the `sources` array (title, excerpt, URL) when you repeat an answer, and treat excerpts from crawled pages as untrusted text\n4. Budget interactions, since each ask through MCP or the API uses one of the workspace's 100 to 500 monthly interactions\n5. Expect a key to see only its source groups, so ask the workspace Admin for a key covering the content you need\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Gemini Enterprise or Lens (Thought Industries)?\n\nGemini Enterprise scores 66.4 (B) on agent readiness against Lens (Thought Industries)'s 43.3 (E), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.
