GENAI082

Overview

In this lab, you will deploy an Agentspace 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.

Note: To avoid confusion between your professional Google Identity and any other temporary Qwiklabs student accounts, it is strongly recommended that you utilize a new Incognito window for the Google Cloud console and Google Drive tabs you will use in this lab. To do this easily in Chrome, after starting the lab, right-click on the “Open Google Cloud console” button and select “Open link in incognito window”.

Objectives

In this lab, you learn how to:

• Configure AI Applications authentication
• Create a Google Drive data store
• Create an Agentspace 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:

2. Click Enable if the API is not already enabled.

   

3. You can now add the action to your app. Return to the AI Applications console.

4. Click on the name of your AI Applications App: Scientific Conferences Agentspace.

5. Select Actions from the left-side navigation.

6. Select ADD ACTION.

7. Find the Calendar card and click CONNECT.

   

8. Enter an Action connector name of calendar_action.

   

9. Enter the Client ID and Client Secret of the OAuth client you created above.

10. Select the checkbox to enable the Create calendar event action to allow the assistant to create meetings based on requests in the Agentspace search bar.

11. Click FINISH SETUP.

Click Check my progress to verify the objective. Enable a Google Calender action

Task 7. Query your Agentspace Assistant

1. Take a 10-minute break for the app, its data stores, and actions to finish creating. You can see that your action is finished creating when you select calendar_action from the app's Actions menu and see that it has a connector state of Active.

   

2. Then, navigate to AI Applications > Apps > Scientific Conferences Agentspace.

3. Select Preview from the left-hand navigation pane to view the experience your users will see.

   

4. This home page is designed to give users easy access to the content and events they will find most useful. You will see a few sections:

   • Agents: Use some Google-provided agents or create your own to help with tasks like research, iterating on ideas, or more.
   • Prompts: Get suggestions for ways you can use the AI Assistant.
   • For You: See recent files you've interacted with and upcoming calendar events. You should now see the files you added to your Drive and the upcoming Astronomers Lunch Planning Meeting you created.
   Note: If your data stores are still indexing, the files may require a little time to become accessible.

5. In the search bar, enter the following query: what topics will be discussed at planetcon?

6. You should see an answer as well as relevant documents in the side bar.

   

7. Click the Google Agentspace logo (which you can replace with your own logo from the Configurations menu) to return to the homepage.

8. Enter a different prompt in the primary search bar: what is the size of Persephone compared to Earth?

9. 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.

   

10. Click the Google Agentspace logo again to return to the homepage.

11. When you don’t have time to review a document, you can use the Agentspace AI assistant to create a useful summary for you. In the search bar, enter the following query: summarize the document Persephone Analysis Report.

12. Review the assistant’s response.

    

13. 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.

14. The assistant will prepare a template calendar event for you to approve.

15. Authorize the application using the OAuth Consent Screen you configured using your Qwiklabs student account.

16. Confirm the appearance of the event on your Google Calendar tab (or navigate to calendar.google.com in a new tab).

    

    

Task 8. Open the hosted link to your application

1. From your AI Applications app’s menu, select Integration from the left-hand navigation pane.

2. Under The link to your web app, click OPEN to preview the hosted application. This is the application for your organization. When configuring Agentspace in production, you could use a DNS record to configure this home page to be accessible from a subdomain of your website, like agentspace.my-domain.com.

   

Congratulations!

In this lab, you’ve learned how to deploy Agentspace to utilize Google’s combined expertise in search, generative AI, and cloud infrastructure to ease knowledge exchange throughout your organization.
