An AI-native grade requires 40/100. The provisional breakdown below shows the AI-native signals recorded so far. The AI-native score measures agent-readiness and is not a substitute for your own security or vendor-risk review. See [methodology](/methodology/) for how coverage and the grade are computed. | Component | Applies | Raw | Effective weight | Nominal weight | Contribution | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Integration | Yes | 2/10 | 35% | 35% | 7.0 | | Trust | Yes | 4/6 | 30% | 30% | 20.0 | | Portability | Yes | 3/4 | 20% | 20% | 15.0 | | Security | Yes | 2/4 | 15% | 15% | 7.5 | - **Integration signals:** Command-line interface (+1); SDK / developer kit (+1) - **Trust signals:** Zero data retention (yes, +2); No generative AI training (yes, +2) - **Portability signals:** Open standards (+1); Standard protocol access (+1); No proprietary-SDK lock-in (+1) - **Security signals:** Compliance certifications (+1); Access controls — RBAC / ABAC (+1) ## Trust & Data Policy - **Zero data retention:** ✓ Yes - **No generative AI training:** ✓ Yes - **Open standards:** ✓ Yes - **Standard protocol access:** ✓ Yes - **No proprietary-SDK lock-in:** ✓ Yes - **Self-hostable:** – No - **Not yet researched:** llms.txt, WebMCP, Headless signup, Trust center, Multi-factor authentication, Hard budget caps, Sandbox environment, Data export, Data import, Documented provider swap, Open source ## Confirmed absences These decision fields were researched and confirmed absent — not available based on current evidence, until contrary information supersedes the finding. Each carries the check performed, the page checked, and the date, so you can act on the negative without repeating the research. A label-scoped absence applies only to its label (e.g. no SOC 2 does not mean no certifications). - **Self-hostable** — confirmed absent (whole field), checked 2026-10-13. Checked the Natural Language pricing and deployment offering for a self-hosted option. The page prices the managed API by units and does not offer a self-hosted deployment. Source: https://cloud.google.com/natural-language/pricing ## Security & Compliance We confirm that cited vendor pages support these certification claims; we do not independently audit the reports. A shared trust or security page can support several certifications. We do not require separate public report links because reports may require login, vendor approval, or a nondisclosure agreement. Ask the vendor for reports and applicable coverage before a procurement decision. These listings expose no per-claim check date; the entry's updated date does not date the supporting evidence. - **Compliance certifications:** System and Organization Controls 2 - **Access controls:** Role-Based Access Control ## Capabilities - **Named entity recognition** — Identify named entities and their types in unstructured text. - **Text sentiment analysis** — Analyze positive, negative or neutral sentiment in text. ## Jobs To Be Done - **Extract entities and sentiment from text** — Identify named entities and analyze sentiment in unstructured text for an application. ## Offers **Pricing page:** https://cloud.google.com/products/natural-language/pricing No offers listed. ## Reviews No approved reviews yet. ## Benchmarks No benchmarks listed. ## Documentation The primary documentation link is at the top of this page.
