In this course, you’ll learn how to estimate and manage GenAI solution costs, focusing on the unique unit economics of AI versus traditional cloud billing. You will learn to: Understand Metering: Master the four Google Cloud GenAI metering categories and the token economy driving costs. Estimate Costs: Build defensible estimates using the Pricing Calculator for models, context caching, and agentic components. Optimize Spend: Leverage controls—such as input/output token reduction, caching, RAG efficiency, and model routing—while balancing cost, quality, and latency. Implement Governance: Apply FinOps best practices, including budgets, quotas, cost attribution, and Provisioned Throughput management to control spend.
In this course, you'll learn the disciplined process of hill climbing to transform your generative and agentic systems into reliable, high-performing tools. You'll examine the iterative 8-step loop by diagnosing system failures through trajectory analysis and applying precise interventions across the model, prompt, tool, and framework layers. By the end of this course, you'll be prepared to optimize system architecture and automate the hill climbing cycle while balancing quality, cost, and latency as first-class metrics.
In this course, you'll learn how to establish a rigorous upgrade regression testing pipeline, safely deploy models using A/B testing and/or shadow mode, and address legacy prompt technical debt. You'll also learn the latest about Gemini 3 parameters including thinking levels and thought signatures, as well as new capabilities like media resolution controls and streaming function calls.
In this course, you learn to evaluate, diagnose, and optimize AI agents on the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform (GEAP). You begin where most teams begin: the agent runs, but you have no eval cases, no test data, and no production traffic to grade it with. From there you follow the Quality Flywheel, the evaluate-analyze-optimize loop at the center of GEAP. You instrument the agent so it emits the telemetry GEAP reads, generate eval cases by simulation, choose the metrics that grade them, run offline evaluations, monitor live traffic and alert on quality drift, then cluster failures and optimize. A final module covers build-time evaluation with the Agent Development Kit (ADK), which runs on your machine before you deploy.
Throughout this course, you'll learn how to establish rigorous evaluation criteria, perform evaluations, design objective rubrics, calibrate autoraters, and simulate evaluation data. You'll gain the skills needed to design, execute, and scale a comprehensive evaluation plan that aligns system capabilities with organizational KPIs. This course is designed for technical practitioners, machine learning engineers, and software architects who build and deploy generative and agentic applications.
In this course, you explore the Code Execution feature of the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, which lets AI agents safely generate and run Python code in isolated sandbox environments. You learn how the Agent Sandbox fits into the broader platform architecture, how to configure and operate Code Execution sandboxes using the Agent Platform SDK, and how to integrate code execution into agent workflows with the Agent Development Kit (ADK).
In this course, you'll learn to use the Agent Development Kit (ADK) to build systems where multiple AI agents collaborate on complex tasks. You'll start with the ADK agent model: how ADK represents agents, tools, and runners, and how a single agent is configured and run. You'll then make tools the model can call, persist session state across agents, and instrument the execution lifecycle with callbacks and plugins. Next, you'll orchestrate multiple agents using ADK's template workflow agents and graph-based workflows, and ground them in enterprise data through multi-source retrieval and MCP integrations. Finally, you'll deploy a multi-agent system to Agent Runtime as a managed service and register and share it through Gemini Enterprise so users across an organization can reach it.
In this course, you'll learn to build and run enterprise agents on the Managed Agents API, the managed agent runtime on Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. Three conceptual lessons give you the mental model. You'll learn why a real business task needs an agent rather than a chat model. You'll examine how the platform splits into a control plane that defines agents and a data plane that runs them. You'll learn how to assemble an agent from a definition, a sandboxed environment, mounted data, tools, and skills. And you'll learn how to run it with background interactions, a streamed reason-act loop, resilient typed results, and state that persists across turns. You then put that model to work in a hands-on lab, where you build, run, and harden a retail merchandising agent for Cymbal Retail from an empty project to a production-shaped deployment. By the end, you'll be able to design, build, and operate a managed agent of your own.
In this challenge lab, you will act as a cloud engineer supporting the Cymbal Pools finance team. Your mission is to deploy a BigQuery-enabled agent to Agent Runtime to help process invoice data using natural language. Rather than building from scratch, you inherit an unsecured deployment. You must establish basic data governance by configuring the Agent Development Kit (ADK), deploying the agent with a dedicated SPIFFE identity, identifying permission blocks, and applying least-privilege IAM roles so the agent can safely query and update the BigQuery database from the Agent Runtime Playground.
In this challenge lab, you will demonstrate your ability to add agents to a Gemini Enterprise app. You will build an agent with Agent Designer. And you will build a no-code agent with Agent Development Kit, deploy it to Agent Engine, and add it to the Gemini Enterprise app.
In this challenge lab, you act as a Security Engineer deploying a secure Gemini Enterprise environment for Cymbal Bank. You will ground Gemini in web search and internal Workspace sources to ensure accurate, contextual responses. To maintain compliance, you will configure Model Armor policies to filter sensitive data and block threats like prompt injections and malicious URLs. Finally, you will manage specific end-user features to customize the AI experience safely
