Try each one before opening the answer. Every option is explained, with the Google Cloud documentation page that proves it.

Question 1 · choose 1

A logistics company's leadership is eager to "do something with gen AI" this year but has no specific project in mind. According to Google Cloud's guidance, what should come first?

  1. ABuy gen AI licenses for every employee and see what they do with them
  2. BTrain a custom foundation model on the company's shipment data
  3. CDefine the business problem and break the goals into measurable KPIs
  4. DChoose the most capable model and design projects around it
Show the answer and why
  • ABuy gen AI licenses for every employee and see what they do with them

    Incorrect

    Broad access can encourage exploration, but without a defined problem and measures there is nothing to judge the investment against.

  • BTrain a custom foundation model on the company's shipment data

    Incorrect

    Training a model is a solution looking for a problem here, and the most expensive one available.

  • CDefine the business problem and break the goals into measurable KPIs

    Correct

    Google Cloud's guidance is to start any AI project with a clear understanding of the business problem and required outcomes, broken down into measurable key performance indicators.

  • DChoose the most capable model and design projects around it

    Incorrect

    Model choice follows from the use case and its constraints, not the other way around.

Strategic focus comes before technology: a defined problem with KPIs lets the team prioritize use cases and later prove value.

Question 2 · choose 1

A contact center will pilot Agent Assist to shorten calls. The operations director must show the board whether it worked. What should the team do before the pilot starts?

  1. ARecord the current average handling time to compare against
  2. BCount how many suggestions Agent Assist makes during the pilot
  3. CCollect public benchmark scores for the underlying model
  4. DTrack how many prompt versions the team tests during setup
Show the answer and why
  • ARecord the current average handling time to compare against

    Correct

    Impact can only be shown against a starting point. Measuring today's average handling time gives the business KPI a baseline that the pilot results can be compared with.

  • BCount how many suggestions Agent Assist makes during the pilot

    Incorrect

    Suggestion counts show usage, not whether calls got shorter or customers were better served.

  • CCollect public benchmark scores for the underlying model

    Incorrect

    Benchmarks describe a model in general, not this contact center's outcome.

  • DTrack how many prompt versions the team tests during setup

    Incorrect

    Prompt iterations are an effort measure; they say nothing about business impact.

Measure business KPIs, not activity, and capture the baseline before the change so the difference can be attributed to the pilot.

Question 3 · choose 1

A utility's field technicians work in tunnels and rural sites with no reliable network. They want help summarizing maintenance notes on their Android phones, and customer data should stay on the device. Which approach fits these constraints?

  1. AGemini Enterprise on the technicians' phones
  2. BBatch inference on Agent Platform overnight
  3. CGemini Nano on the device, through the ML Kit GenAI APIs
  4. DA Gemini model called through Agent Platform from the app
Show the answer and why
  • AGemini Enterprise on the technicians' phones

    Incorrect

    Gemini Enterprise is a cloud service; it needs a connection, which the technicians often lack.

  • BBatch inference on Agent Platform overnight

    Incorrect

    Batch jobs run in the cloud with delayed results; technicians need help on site, with no network.

  • CGemini Nano on the device, through the ML Kit GenAI APIs

    Correct

    The ML Kit GenAI APIs run Gemini Nano entirely on the device: data is processed locally and features keep working without a reliable internet connection.

  • DA Gemini model called through Agent Platform from the app

    Incorrect

    Calling a cloud model needs connectivity and sends the notes off the device, breaking both constraints.

On-device AI keeps working without a network and keeps the notes on the phone, which no cloud service can do for these technicians.

Question 4 · choose 1

A finance operations lead drafts four objectives for a gen AI invoice assistant. Which one is written the way Google Cloud's guidance recommends, as specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound?

  1. AUse an AI assistant to cut invoice processing time within nine months
  2. BUse an AI assistant to cut invoice processing time by 20% over time
  3. CRoll out an AI assistant to 20% of finance staff within nine months
  4. DUse an AI assistant to cut invoice processing time by 20% in nine months
Show the answer and why
  • AUse an AI assistant to cut invoice processing time within nine months

    Incorrect

    It names the process and a deadline but no target, so nobody can measure whether it was achieved.

  • BUse an AI assistant to cut invoice processing time by 20% over time

    Incorrect

    It has a measurable target but no deadline, so it is not time-bound and cannot be reviewed on a date.

  • CRoll out an AI assistant to 20% of finance staff within nine months

    Incorrect

    It is measurable and time-bound, but it tracks rollout activity rather than a business outcome such as efficiency or cost.

  • DUse an AI assistant to cut invoice processing time by 20% in nine months

    Correct

    Google Cloud recommends SMART objectives for AI projects; this one names the process, a measurable target tied to efficiency, a deadline and the means.

SMART objectives turn enthusiasm into something the business can measure, fund and review. A missing target, a missing deadline or an activity in place of an outcome each breaks the pattern.

Question 5 · choose 1

A mid-sized insurer must show results from gen AI within six weeks. It has no AI engineers and a modest budget, and its staff need both search across the company's document systems and drafting help. Which approach fits these resources and needs?

  1. ABuild a custom multi-agent system with ADK first
  2. BStart with Gemini Enterprise and expand later
  3. CBuild a RAG app with RAG Engine on Agent Platform
  4. DTurn on Gemini in Gmail and Docs and stop there
Show the answer and why
  • ABuild a custom multi-agent system with ADK first

    Incorrect

    A code-first build needs developers and time that the insurer does not have.

  • BStart with Gemini Enterprise and expand later

    Correct

    When people, money and time are limited and the need is common knowledge work, a prebuilt offering such as Gemini Enterprise delivers search across connected sources, assistance and agents without a build project.

  • CBuild a RAG app with RAG Engine on Agent Platform

    Incorrect

    RAG Engine is a framework for developing RAG applications; it would serve search, but it needs developers that the insurer does not have.

  • DTurn on Gemini in Gmail and Docs and stop there

    Incorrect

    Gemini in Gmail and Docs helps with drafting inside those apps, but it does not give staff one search across the company's document systems.

Resources shape the solution: limited skills and time favor prebuilt offerings that cover the whole need, while specific needs and engineering capacity favor building.

Question 6 · choose 1

Three months after rolling out a gen AI drafting assistant to its sales staff, a company wants project-specific metrics that show whether this generative AI tool itself is working. Which set does Google Cloud's guidance suggest?

  1. AAdoption, user satisfaction and content quality
  2. BAccuracy and precision of the model's predictions
  3. CRequest rate, error rate and latency of the endpoint
  4. DRevenue growth and cost savings across the company
Show the answer and why
  • AAdoption, user satisfaction and content quality

    Correct

    Google Cloud's guidance lists adoption, satisfaction and content quality as the project-specific metrics for generative AI.

  • BAccuracy and precision of the model's predictions

    Incorrect

    Accuracy and precision are the suggested project metrics for predictive AI, which classifies or forecasts rather than generates drafts.

  • CRequest rate, error rate and latency of the endpoint

    Incorrect

    These availability metrics show whether the service is healthy, not whether the drafts are used, liked or any good.

  • DRevenue growth and cost savings across the company

    Incorrect

    These are business value metrics for the program as a whole; on their own they do not show whether this particular tool is working.

Pick metrics that fit the kind of AI: generative AI is judged by use, satisfaction and output quality, alongside cost, operational health and business value.

Question 7 · choose 1

Three months after rolling out Gemini Enterprise, the program lead wants to see usage trends, search quality and how engaged employees are, without building a reporting pipeline. Where should she look?

  1. AThe analytics dashboard in Gemini Enterprise
  2. BCloud Billing reports for the Gemini Enterprise project
  3. CModel Monitoring drift alerts
  4. DThe Gen AI evaluation service
Show the answer and why
  • AThe analytics dashboard in Gemini Enterprise

    Correct

    Gemini Enterprise analytics gives insight into usage trends, search quality and end-user engagement in an interactive dashboard powered by Looker.

  • BCloud Billing reports for the Gemini Enterprise project

    Incorrect

    Billing reports show what the service costs, not how employees use it.

  • CModel Monitoring drift alerts

    Incorrect

    Model Monitoring tracks drift in models you deploy; it does not report on employee adoption.

  • DThe Gen AI evaluation service

    Incorrect

    The evaluation service scores model outputs against metrics; it does not track usage across the company.

Measuring impact includes measuring use; Gemini Enterprise has adoption analytics built in.

Question 8 · choose 1

Two years into its gen AI program, a company cannot say what each project costs or what it has delivered. Which practice from Google Cloud's guidance would have prevented this?

  1. ASet one budget alert for all of the company's AI spending
  2. BEstimate, track and assign owners for each project's costs and benefits
  3. CRun all projects on Provisioned Throughput so that the bill stays fixed
  4. DReview the company's total cloud bill with finance every quarter
Show the answer and why
  • ASet one budget alert for all of the company's AI spending

    Incorrect

    A budget alert warns when total spend passes a limit, but it neither splits costs by project nor measures what each project delivered.

  • BEstimate, track and assign owners for each project's costs and benefits

    Correct

    Google Cloud recommends FinOps principles: each AI project has estimated costs and ways to measure actual costs over its lifecycle, and its costs and benefits have assigned owners with clear accountability.

  • CRun all projects on Provisioned Throughput so that the bill stays fixed

    Incorrect

    A fixed capacity commitment makes some spend predictable but still does not attribute costs or benefits to projects.

  • DReview the company's total cloud bill with finance every quarter

    Incorrect

    A total bill shows what the company spent overall, not what each project cost or what value it returned.

Value has to be measured to be managed: estimate, track and assign ownership for both cost and benefit, project by project. Totals and limits alone cannot answer either question.
