In the next 12 months, AI agents will start to completely transform the workforce. AI models won’t just write things for us — they will make decisions for us, perform entire projects in our browsers, and handle our communications. Agents will shift everything we thought we knew about how AI works — again. We’ve been working with generative AI since 2019, and this is the biggest shift we’ve seen since the original GPT-3 was released in 2020. This course will keep you relevant in this new world by developing evergreen practices working with and designing with agentic patterns, frameworks, and tools like ReAct loops, multi-agent systems, graph-based methods and beyond. We will teach you principles to guide you in targeting most promising agentic applications and provide direct practice building actions into existing AI frameworks, based on our first-hand experience building early versions of these tools in production. And we will be joined by CEOs of AI Agent services MultiOn and Promptly. You will walk away understanding how the AI ecosystem will evolve, with applications to different industries and use cases. You'll also be able to demonstrate your competency through hands-on demos you will build with no-code tools. Along with live class sessions, the course includes 1:1 coaching sessions and flexible office hours to ensure each student gets deeply personalized support in designing their agentic applications.

Innovate and Automate with the Power of AI Agents

Innovation and Strategy Leads who need think outside the box and push the boundaries of your organization's strategy.

Product Managers who need to lead and collaborate with technical teams on generative and agentic products and features.

Designers who need to understand what users will expect from generative and agentic products.

Who is this course for

What you’ll get out of this course

Make key decisions in designing your AI agent application based on emerging patterns like ReAct loops, multi-agent systems, graph-based methods, and more.

Master design patterns for AI agents:

Gain a clear understanding of the current capabilities of AI agents and how they will evolve in your industry.

Forecast the AI agent landscape: 

Create an on-rails agent pulling insights from your data and learn how to integrate function calling and outside workflows using state-of-the-art no-code methods.

Build your own agents: 

You'll leave with a huge toolkit of new capabilities and targeted resources you can start using immediately, with proof that you can leverage them.

Create a truly unique innovation portfolio:

Gain access to step-by-step instructions, async lectures, training guides and decision-making worksheets to continue growing your expertise long after the end of the course.

What people are saying

Meet your instructor

Synchronous zoom lecture on Tuesday, focusing on the conceptual backbone of AI agent functionality and applications. Recordings of class will be available soon after its completion.

Tuesday

An async walkthrough will guide you in building functional prototypes of AI Agents. You will get to shape the project deliverable. Lecturers will be available by email, during office hours and via one-on-one sessions throughout the week for questions and support.

Weekly projects (async)

Optional office hours where you can ask questions and receive personal guidance on developing your AI applications.

Tuesday & Thursday

Schedule 1:1 coaching time with instructors for individualized help with your hands-on projects, privately thinking through a use-case, or whatever else you need.
