Prepare for the Google Cloud Generative AI Leader exam. In this lesson: what a gen AI agent is (model, tools, reasoning loop; deterministic, generative, or hybrid), the four kinds of tools (extensions, functions, data stores, plugins), Google Cloud services as tools (Cloud Storage, databases, Cloud Run functions, Cloud Run, Agent Platform, the API Library), and the pre-built AI APIs: Speech-to-Text, Text-to-Speech, Translation, Document Translation, Document AI, Cloud Vision, Video Intelligence, and Natural Language. Includes three original practice questions.
