AI Agent Essentials on Google Cloud
This 2-3 hour Cloud Sparks session is a short, interactive introduction to managing AI agents on Google Cloud, aimed at managers rather than engineers.
The course is a practical guide to building your own digital workforce. Instead of being the “everything person” stuck in repetitive tasks, you learn to become an “Agent Manager” who oversees a team of AI agents. You will get to know the difference between simple assistants and more capable agents, see how Gemini and the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform fit together, and look at the range of ways to build agents and how to choose between them.
Participants discuss what an AI agent really is, build a functional enterprise AI agent in Gemini Enterprise to solve a business problem, and learn how to apply human oversight models to manage risk. The session closes with governing agents at scale and writing a personal 30-day action plan.
The course is aimed at department heads, change agents who want to automate clunky, repetitive work, and strategic architects who turn business rules into reliable AI actions. It is recommended that attendees have a basic understanding of generative AI and a good knowledge of their own business processes.
