With Gemini Pro, now developers can build “agents” that can process and act on information.

What is Bucket?

Cloud Storage Buckets serve as fundamental storage units for your data. All information stored in Cloud Storage must reside within a bucket. These buckets enable data organization and access control. However, unlike directories or folders, they do not support nesting of other buckets within them.

• You can create an unlimited number of buckets within a project or location.
• Upon creating a bucket, you assign it a globally unique name and designate a geographic location for storing both the bucket and its contents.
• The pricing structure, covering costs for data storage, processing, and outbound data transfer, is influenced by factors like the bucket’s location and the storage classes of its objects. For detailed information, refer to cloud Storage pricing.
• Identity and Access Management (IAM) is used to control access to individual buckets.

When creating the bucket, you have to remember these things.

• Ensure you’ve chosen the project associated with the agent you’re using.
• Use Standard Storage class.
• Ensure the bucket location aligns with your agent’s designated location.

4. Create buckets

To create a new bucket, go to the Cloud Storage Buckets page and click on the ‘Create’ button.

Enter a globally unique bucket name, choose from the available options for your buckets, and click on ‘Create’.

You can create a folder, upload files, upload a folder, and transfer data to and from here. Additionally, you can directly upload files by clicking on ‘Upload Files’.

What is a Data stores?

Data store agents utilize data stores to locate answers to user queries within your data. These stores comprise various websites and documents, all referencing your data.

When a user poses a question, the agent seeks an answer within the provided content, condensing the information into a clear response. It also offers relevant source links, allowing users to explore further. The agent can furnish a maximum of five concise answer snippets per question.

5. Create a data store

To create a new data store, navigate to the ‘Data Stores’ option in the left-hand menu under the ‘Manage’ tab.

A Data Store agent is created.

7. Verify your agent’s performance by conducting tests

The Dialogflow CX simulator is available for testing your agent.

Select your project name and agent name, then click on ‘Test Agent’.

We display the agent’s response to the user’s inquiries here.

Improve the agent’s generative responses

Click on ‘Agent Settings’, and open the Agent Settings page.

Navigate to the ‘Generative AI’ sub-tab, which offers several options to enhance the quality of an agent’s generative responses.

Further down the page, you’ll find an option related to ‘Grounding confidence’.

Grounding confidence

We measure the confidence level of responses created from your connected data store, ensuring the information aligns with the data. You can adjust the allowed response types by setting the minimum confidence level. Responses falling below this threshold won’t be displayed.

You have the choice of selecting from five confidence levels:

• Very low
• Low
• Medium
• High
• Very high

Click on the dropdown box it displays the various options for confidence level.

Select any one option.

Data store prompt

You can improve the quality of the responses generated from the data store content by including additional information about the agent.

Fill in all required details.

Once you’ve completed this section, either partially or entirely, you’ll find, on the right side under “Your prompt,” a brief paragraph generated from these settings. This paragraph will be used in generating answers.

Here, is an example of a prompt:
