What you'll learn
Understand the Four-Layer Agentic AI Architecture
Learn the core + tools + guardrails + observability layers that separate production agents from prototypes.
Build Claude-Powered Agents That Scale
Design and implement agents using Claude as the reasoning engine with proper tool access, safety, & cost optimization.
Design Hierarchies: From Single Agents to Systems
Architect multi-agent hierarchies with routing, specialization, and approval chains for complex business workflows.
Optimize Cost & Performance for Production Agentic AI
Implement caching, batching, and model selection strategies to reduce cost-per-action by 10x while maintaining quality.
Why this topic matters
By mid-2026, agentic AI shifted from chatbots to autonomous systems. Companies automating workflows with Claude-powered agents saved millions while competitors stalled. Engineers who mastered 2.0 architecture commanded premium salaries ($250K+). The gap between systems that work and those that fail is architecture. Learn the four-layer pattern that separates production agents from prototypes.
