A fantastic program that's designed to be "learner first". Aishwarya, Kirti, Ravi, Theresa, Sahana et al give it their ALL to ensure that participants truly cross the chasm between 'AI aware' to 'AI adept'. Even as someone who has worked in the AI/ML product building space for more than a decade, I found this program truly valuable. Feel free to DM if you want to learn more.

I came into this course wanting to move from strategy into building, and to work alongside technical teams on AI that carries real business value. The turning point was week three: my RAG system refused to answer a question, and the cause was not the model but a document that had never been indexed. That one bug changed how I diagnose AI failure in an enterprise setting. I attribute my growth here to the hands on work, planned and curated with excellence by Aish, Kiriti and the team. The office hours and the community are where I learned to look for answers, and they made the learning and the building enjoyable. I plan to stay close through the Chai and AI sessions with this community, and I look forward to building with my new set of skills. Highly recommended to take this course, if you're serious about building with AI for the long term.

Building Agentic AI Applications with a Problem-First Approach

I have built 50+ agents two years before using low code no code platforms and used Claude to build some apps but the exposure I got here can’t be compared to the past. The complete environment around which the agents will reside in a production environment, harness and the guess lectures from experts in the field took my confidence to a different level that I can have engaging conversations with C-Suite, developers and business communities.

Building Agentic AI Applications with a Problem-First Approach

I took this course to learn more about the impact Agentic AI is having on software engineering to better support the CS students I mentor. There are coding and no coding tracks and I took the latter. I learned all the primary concepts necessary to better advise my students which met my goal. I did find it challenging to even complete no code assignments which shows there is still plenty of human work to do for foreseeable future. The amount of material provided was well balanced by the professional presentation. The LM Notebooks made it super simple to get answers about lectures and homework. And the instructors Aish and Kiriti were top notch. Just note if not a coder you may not understand it all because this course was originally built for software engineers and then modified to allow non coders so a lot of the content may be over your head. Don’t let that deter you because you can skim those parts and go deeper as necessary while still leaning primary concepts. If you are a software engineer that wants to go deeper in AI agentic software development this course is for you. If you are a non coder this course will be helpful but don’t expect to be an expert agentic coworker builder at the finish.

Building Agentic AI Applications with a Problem-First Approach

very well structured course for anyone to get started with applied ai. i especially liked the community building effort and the value we continue to receive after the course ends.
