Grounding connects generated responses to verifiable information sources. It gives the model access to specific material and can provide links that help a reader check the answer. Google describes grounding as reducing the chance of invented content, rather than removing that risk entirely. Source: Google Cloud: Grounding overview

Check the evidence behind the answer

Ask a travel assistant a question about an approved hotel description. Open the cited source and compare it with the full answer, including small details such as meal plans or facilities. This checks whether the evidence actually supports what the traveller would read.

Include missing and conflicting information

Test a question the approved material cannot answer and another where two documents disagree. Agree how the system should explain the gap or request help. These cases let you review its behaviour beyond straightforward questions with an obvious source.
