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 will be made available to you.

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

What you need

To complete this lab, you need:

• Access to a standard internet browser (Chrome browser recommended).
• Time to complete the lab.

Note: If you already have your own personal Google Cloud account or project, do not use it for this lab.

Note: If you are using a Pixelbook, open an Incognito window to run this 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 left is the Lab Details pane with the following:

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

2. Click Open Google Cloud console (or 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 Details 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 Details 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. Navigate to Cloud Storage > Buckets and click on the existing bucket with the name:.

2. Download the files listed below to your local system to use as demo data:

   • PlanetCon_Persephone.docx
   • Persephone_Analysis_Report.pdf

3. In the Incognito window where you have logged into the Google Cloud console, create a new tab and navigate to drive.google.com.

4. Upload the documents you downloaded from Cloud Storage 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, 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 as 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 the downloaded documents to your Drive and an event to your Calendar

Task 2. Configure an 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. Select Settings from the left-hand navigation pane.

4. On the row for the global location, click the pencil icon .

5. Select Google Identity as your identity provider.

   

6. Select Save.

Click Check my progress to verify the objective. Configure an Gemini Enterprise identity provider

Task 3. Set up an OAuth Consent Screen and Create client

In order for the AI assistant to take actions on a user’s behalf, the user must grant access to your enterprise search and assistant app. To configure the OAuth consent screen and client, follow the following steps:

1. In the search bar at the top of the Cloud Console, search for the Google Auth Platform and select it.

   

2. Click Get started.

3. For App Name, enter Scientific Conferences App.

4. For the user support email, select your Qwiklabs student account .

5. Click Next.

6. In the Audience section, select an Internal Audience.

7. Click Next.

8. In the Contact Information section, provide your Qwiklabs student account again (). Click Next.

9. In the Finish section, agree to the terms.

10. Click Create to create your OAuth consent screen.

Click Check my progress to verify the objective. Deploy a Gemini Enterprise app

Task 6. Query your Gemini Enterprise Assistant

1. Return to the Data stores > Google Calendar detail page. You will be ready to proceed when this data store's Connector state and Action state both show a status of Active.

   

2. Click on the Gemini Enterprise logo, then your app Scientific Conferences App

3. Click the URL displayed on the Overview tab to open it in a new browser tab.

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

5. Next to the Calendar data store, click Enable actions. If it does not appear yet, you may need to wait a little longer and refresh the page to see this option.

   

6. An OAuth popup will appear. Use your Qwiklabs student account to authorize the requested access.

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

8. For this query, you would like to only search your proprietary data, so toggle the Google Search connector to off.

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

   What topics will be discussed at PlanetCon Persephone?

10. You should see an answer generated by the app. To view the relevant supporting documents:

    Sample Output:

    

11. Scroll down to the bottom of the answer and click on Sources to reveal the associated documents.

    

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

    What is the size of Persephone compared to Earth?

13. 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 you know 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:

    

14. 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.

    

15. Select the file Persephone_Analysis_Report and press enter to submit the query.

16. Review the assistant’s response.

17. 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.

18. The assistant will prepare a template calendar event for you to approve. Click the check mark to approve it.

    

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