GENAI082

Overview

In this lab, you will deploy a Gemini Enterprise app connected to a Google Drive data store and use the AI assistant to locate information from within your organization.

For this lab, you’ll take on the role of a scientific conference organizer planning a conference to discuss the discovery of an exciting new exoplanet.

Objectives

In this lab, you learn how to:

• Configure an identity provider for Gemini Enterprise
• Create a Google Drive data store
• Create a Gemini Enterprise app
• Use the AI assistant to find, summarize, and extract content from a data store
• Create a calendar invite with an assistant action

Setup and requirements

Before you click the Start Lab button

Read these instructions. Labs are timed and you cannot pause them. The timer, which starts when you click Start Lab, shows how long Google Cloud resources are made available to you.

This hands-on lab lets you do the lab activities in a real cloud environment, not in a simulation or demo environment. It does so by giving you new, temporary credentials you use to sign in and access Google Cloud for the duration of the lab.

To complete this lab, you need:

• Access to a standard internet browser (Chrome browser recommended).

• Time to complete the lab—remember, once you start, you cannot pause a lab.

How to start your lab and sign in to the Google Cloud console

1. Click the Start Lab button. If you need to pay for the lab, a dialog opens for you to select your payment method. On the right is the Lab setup pane with the following:

   • The Open Google Cloud console button
   • The temporary credentials that you must use for this lab
   • Other information, if needed, to step through this lab

2. In the Lab Setup section, right-click Open Google Cloud console and select Open link in new window (or alternatively right-click and select Open Link in Incognito Window if you are running the Chrome browser).

   The lab spins up resources, and then opens another tab that shows the Sign in page.

   Tip: Arrange the tabs in separate windows, side-by-side.

   Note: If you see the Choose an account dialog, click Use Another Account.

3. If necessary, copy the Username below and paste it into the Sign in dialog.

   {{{user_0.username | "Username"}}}

   You can also find the Username in the Lab Setup pane.

4. Click Next.

5. Copy the Password below and paste it into the Welcome dialog.

   {{{user_0.password | "Password"}}}

   You can also find the Password in the Lab Setup pane.

6. Click Next.

   Important: You must use the credentials the lab provides you. Do not use your Google Cloud account credentials. Note: Using your own Google Cloud account for this lab may incur extra charges.

7. Click through the subsequent pages:

   • Accept the terms and conditions.
   • Do not add recovery options or two-factor authentication (because this is a temporary account).
   • Do not sign up for free trials.

After a few moments, the Google Cloud console opens in this tab.

Note: To access Google Cloud products and services, click the Navigation menu or type the service or product name in the Search field.

Task 1. Add content to Google Drive and Google Calendar

1. In the Google Cloud console, navigate to Cloud Storage > Buckets, click the existing bucket with the name:, and download the files to your local system to use as demo data:

   • PlanetCon_Persephone.docx
   • Persephone_Analysis_Report.pdf

2. If corporate network, browser, or device security policies restrict accessing Google Drive, Google Calendar, or downloading external files on your local workstation, open the pre-provisioned sandboxed Remote Browser session in a new browser tab:

   {{{project_0.startup_script.service_url | REMOTE_BROWSER_URL}}}

   Open the Chrome browser inside this remote desktop session and authenticate with your Qwiklabs student account (). The demo files (PlanetCon_Persephone.docx and Persephone_Analysis_Report.pdf) are pre-loaded directly onto the Desktop of the remote session.

3. In the Incognito window where you have logged into the Google Cloud console (or inside the Remote Browser session), create a new tab and navigate to drive.google.com.

4. Upload the documents to your Google Drive.

   These documents relate to the imaginary discovery of a new planet named "Persephone." You are organizing a scientific conference to discuss this discovery.

5. In the same Incognito window (or inside the Remote Browser session), create a new tab, and navigate to calendar.google.com. Accept or dismiss any pop-ups.

6. Ensure you are authenticated as your Qwiklabs student account by clicking the “s” in the circle in the upper right corner and confirming it is your account.

   

7. In the upper left, click + Create and select Event from the dropdown menu.

8. In the event-creation window that appears, name the event Astronomers Lunch Planning Meeting, and set a start time of at least one hour from now.

   

9. Select Save.

Click Check my progress to verify the objective. Add content to Google Drive and Google Calendar

Task 2. Create a Gemini Enterprise app and configure its identity provider

1. In the Google Cloud console, navigate to the Gemini Enterprise page by searching for it at the top of the console.

2. Click Start 30-day free trial and then Continue and activate the API.

3. You will be presented with an app creation screen. Name your app .

4. Under Advanced Options, for a company name, enter Scientific Conferences.

5. Click Create.

6. Select Integration from the left-hand navigation pane.

7. Select Use Google Identity as your identity provider.

   

8. Click Confirm Workforce Identity.

Click Check my progress to verify the objective. Create a Gemini Enterprise app and configure its identity provider

Task 4. Query your Gemini Enterprise assistant

1. Click your data stores' names to see their detail pages. You will be ready to proceed when each data store's Connector state and Action state show statuses of Active. This should take about 10 minutes from deployment.

   

2. Return to the Overview tab for your app .

3. Click the URL displayed on the Overview tab to open a preview of the Gemini Enterprise web app in a new browser tab. Make sure that you are signed in using your Qwiklabs student account . You can verify your active signed-in account in the bottom-left corner of the left navigation pane.

4. At the bottom of the query bar, click the Connectors icon ().

5. In the connectors panel, next to Calendar and Drive, click Authorize and use the pop-up OAuth consent screen flow to authorize each set of actions using your Qwiklabs student account .

   

   If the Authorize option does not appear yet next to either data store, make sure to wait for the data stores to reach an Active Action state, then refresh the page.

6. At the bottom of the query bar, click the Tools icon () again.

7. For this query, you want to search only your proprietary data, so select Search company data.

8. Use the query bar to enter the following query:

   What topics will be discussed at PlanetCon Persephone?

   Sample Output:

   

9. Enter a different prompt in the primary search bar:

   What is the size of Persephone compared to Earth? Also provide the sources link of the information.

   You should see a result that extracts the information you are looking for from the Persephone Analysis Report.pdf document you uploaded to your drive.

   Remember, there is no real exoplanet Persephone, so the model is not relying on training data, but is finding information in your uploaded data. You can further validate this by clicking the link icon and the card that appears below the response to be taken directly to the file that serves as the source of this information.

   Sample Output:

   

10. When you don’t have time to review a document, you can use the Gemini Enterprise AI assistant to create a useful summary for you. In the search bar, type: Summarize @. When you type the @ symbol, a pop-up will display files.

    

11. Click the file Persephone_Analysis_Report and press Enter to submit the query.

    Sample Output:

    

12. In the search bar, enter the following:

    Create a 1-hour meeting tomorrow at 10am for exoplanet-research@qwiklabs.net to review conference presentation proposals.

    Sample Output:

    

13. Approve the event-creation form presented to you.

14. Return to your calendar.google.com tab to see the meeting appear on your calendar.
