Software development is moving from writing code to orchestrating agents.

What alumni say

  • Matt (Founder, SAVANT-AI): "Five stars for course logic, course structure, and course value."

  • Alexa (Lead UX Designer, Caseware): "I can already see how to bring it into my work."

  • Satyan (Group PM, AT&T): "The concepts taught here make the difference between building a product that works and one that doesn't."

Why this course matters

In 2026, engineering value is shifting from task execution to orchestration and systems thinking. Anthropic’s research shows that being a software engineer increasingly means orchestrating agents that write code, evaluating their output, and ensuring the system solves the right problems—not just writing more code yourself. The gap between early adopters and everyone else is widening fast.

You will leave with a production-ready capstone architecture, reusable templates, and a delivery playbook you can apply immediately.

What you’ll learn

This is a project-based course. In 6 weeks, you will learn a repeatable framework and build your multi-agent AI application ready to launch.

  • Ship rock‑solid project docs: research + requirements that AI agents can execute on.

  • Architect a production‑ready multi‑agent system with clear roles, workflows, and docs.

  • Design and build one production‑ready Agentic AI application, not just a prototype.

  • Configure your full multi‑agent stack in CrewAI: Agents Personas, Tasks, Tools, and flows.

  • Add enterprise‑grade reliability: HITL, observability, and automated QA for agents.

  • Deploy and present a portfolio‑ready capstone you can show to clients and hiring managers

Frequently asked questions

Not ready for six weeks? Start with the 4-hour Workshop

If a six-week capstone feels like too much right now, you can still learn the Agentic Architect operating model in a single live session: scope your project with context agents can execute, follow a a guided Define → Build → Deliver run and build a mini-project—with templates you can reuse immediately.
