This map is built from Google's Generative AI Leader exam guide (retrieved 2026-10-06) and from this hive's own contents. Google publishes no exam code, no guide version and no passing score for this certification; "GCP-GAIL" is this hive's internal label, not Google's.
The exam, as Google publishes it
- Format: 50-60 multiple choice questions
- Time: 90 minutes
- Validity: 3 years
- Languages: English, Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese
- Passing score: not published by Google
Sections and weights
Google attaches an approximate percentage to each section and to nothing below it. The counts are this hive's.
| Section | Title | Weight (Google, approx.) | Topics | Objectives | Bank questions | Flashcards | Seats per mock |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unit 1 | Fundamentals of gen AI | ~30% | 7 | 23 | 138 | 115 | 18 |
| Unit 2 | Google Cloud’s gen AI offerings | ~35% | 6 | 18 | 161 | 90 | 21 |
| Unit 3 | Techniques to improve gen AI model output | ~20% | 4 | 15 | 92 | 75 | 12 |
| Unit 4 | Business strategies for a successful gen AI solution | ~15% | 3 | 11 | 69 | 55 | 9 |
How this hive is organised
- A lecture deck for every topic — 20 decks, one per topic of this hive's curriculum (each mapped to the exam guide's considerations), each teaching every objective under it. Every factual claim on a slide is pinned to an exact excerpt from an official Google Cloud page.
- 460 practice questions, each citing the Google Cloud documentation page its answer comes from, with the supporting quote recorded.
- 7 blueprint-weighted mock exams of 60 questions, dealt in proportion to the section weights (18/21/12/9 seats per section). No question appears in more than one mock.
- 335 flashcards, one collection per objective, each card traceable to Google's documentation.
- A study guide per topic (below): the topic's lecture in reading form.
Names in the exam guide that Google has since changed
The exam guide still uses these names, so expect them on the exam. Google's current documentation uses the second column, and the decks teach both.
| The exam guide says | Google's documentation now | Taught in |
|---|---|---|
| Cloud Functions | Cloud Run functions | Unit 2 Topic 6 |
| Customer Engagement Suite | Gemini Enterprise for Customer Experience | Unit 2 Topic 4 |
| Conversational Agents | built in CX Agent Studio | Unit 2 Topic 4 |
| Conversational Insights | CX Insights | Unit 2 Topic 4 |
| Agent Platform Feature Store | the feature-monitoring page still says Vertex AI Feature Store | Unit 3 Topic 2 |
| Gems | Google Workspace Help says skills replace Gems in 2027 | Unit 2 Topic 3 |
| Imagen | still documented; its endpoints are listed as deprecated in favour of Gemini image models | Unit 1 Topic 7 |
