Section 1: AI Fundamentals

Question 1: What is the primary role of a Large Language Model (LLM) in an automation pipeline?

A) To connect files to the internet.

B) To act as the cognitive brain processing and generating text or code.

C) To run local desktop software scripts.

D) To edit images and videos.

Correct Answer: B

Explanation: The LLM provides the cognitive capacity (the "Brain") to understand prompts and generate text content or code blocks.

Question 2: True or False: You must know Python syntax to write a Python script using Google Antigravity.

  • True
  • False

Correct Answer: False

Explanation: Google Antigravity allows "vibe coding," which means you describe the script's logic in plain English, and the agent writes the code.

Question 3: What does "MCP" (Model Context Protocol) do?

A) It increases the speed of your internet connection.

B) It defines the pricing of API tokens.

C) It serves as a standard protocol connecting LLMs to local files, folders, and tools.

D) It renames media files automatically.

Correct Answer: C

Explanation: MCP provides a protocol for LLMs to safely read and write local context.

Section 2: Automation & APIs

Question 4: What is an API key?

A) A password used to unlock your laptop.

B) A secure token used to authenticate and grant access to cloud services (e.g., DeepSeek).

C) A script that renames folders.

D) A video editing tool.

Correct Answer: B

Explanation: API keys act as authentication tokens for developers to query cloud LLM brains programmatically.

Question 5: If an API costs $0.50 per million input tokens, how much does 10,000 tokens cost?

A) $0.05

B) $0.005

C) $0.50

D) $0.0005

Correct Answer: B

Explanation: $0.50 / 1,000,000 * 10,000 = $0.005. This demonstrates the cost-effectiveness of API calls.

Question 6: True or False: Webhooks require you to set up a server to poll for updates.

  • True
  • False

Correct Answer: False

Explanation: Webhooks are push-notifications. They send data in real-time when an event occurs, eliminating the need for constant polling.

Section 3: Open-Ended Questions
