We have a google cloud account manager. They keep asking what we are working on in excruciating details. Not providing details means we may have a bad relationship with our cloud provider. How should we handle this?

I mean, you don't have to tell them your secret sauce, but they're there to help you, not to hinder/steal from you.

Well I am not sure how they can help by knowing these details when their product provides compute. I dont see any other use of this information than informing their own products about what startups are doing.

No, it is not explicit. Its like a very important friend asking for your answer sheet on an exam without even assuring they wont look into the answers.

They say they can help with Google resources but no NDA no nothing.
