Google Cloud Generative AI Leader Exam Guide (2026) [eBook: PDF + EPUB]

Google renamed most of the products on the Generative AI Leader exam in 2026. Vertex AI is now Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. Vertex AI Search is Agent Search. NotebookLM is Gemini Notebook. The contact-center suite is Gemini Enterprise for Customer Experience. Google's certification page now tells candidates to check the exam guide for the product names used on the exam. Most study material written before mid-2026 uses the old names.

This 2026 edition follows the current official exam guide and study guide, in plain business language, for the people the certification is built for: executives, directors, product and program leaders, consultants, and sales and marketing leaders.
