Portal Tour: Agent Studio for Leaders
A guided tour of the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform in the Google Cloud console so leaders can see where Model Garden, Agent Studio, and Agent Search live and what they do.
Techniques to Improve Gen AI Model Output
Covers foundation model limitations and mitigations, prompt engineering techniques, advanced prompting, and grounding with sampling parameters. Aligns to Section 3 (~20% of the exam).
Prompt and Parameter Exploration in Agent Studio
Hands-on exploration of Agent Studio prompt controls — temperature, top-p, top-k, max output tokens, system instruction, and safety filters — using Gemini in the Google Cloud console.
NotebookLM for Leaders
A hands-on portal lab exploring Google NotebookLM — the AI research assistant that grounds answers in your uploaded sources. Students use a personal Google account to create notebooks, add web sources, ask grounded questions, and generate an Audio Overview podcast.
Grounding, Model Selection, and Advanced Prompting in Agent Studio
Hands-on exploration of the Agent Studio features a Generative AI leader is expected to understand beyond basic prompting: model-vs-model comparison, grounding with Google Search, thinking-level tuning on Gemini 3, few-shot prompting, multi-turn chat, long-context summarization, structured JSON output, and an end-to-end mini search app built on a Vertex AI Search data store.
Building AI Agents on Google Cloud
A hands-on portal lab where students build a working AI agent in Google's Agent Studio (formerly Vertex AI Studio). Students configure agent name, description, and system instructions, add the Google Search tool, and observe multi-step ReAct reasoning in the preview panel.
