Keyword search + an agent - is that all we need now? The agentic world challenges traditional ways of building search. Traditionally we've built thick, complex search APIs - query understanding, rerankers, learning to rank, vector databases. Yet an agent can compete in deep research benchmarks with the dumbest of search tools.This course pushes you to rethink search. We teach:<ul><li>Replacing search with agents - A search agent learns about retrieval systems, tailoring searches, achieving competitive results</li><li>Guiding agents, not algorithms - Search developers won't train algorithms. They'll build harnesses</li><li>Steering with an LLM judge - Integrate human and clickstream feedback to guide the agent's judgment towards what users want</li><li>Autoresearching to smarter search - Use + build a coding agent that optimizes retrieval code like an ML model.</li></ul>Come learn alongside search industry expert <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://softwaredoug.com">Doug Turnbull</a> as we unpack how agents will rewrite the search industry.

The future of search is agentic. Are you ready?

What makes a great search tool to an agent?

Use LLMs to help agents structure, organize, and find content

Agentic results without the cost

Orienting agentic search towards the human, not the machi

We will build on top of existing, core search knowledge

Lexical Search basics (do you know what BM25 is)

We will use common search datasets that use metrics like NDCG, etc to measure search

Basic search evaluation (judgments + metrics)

Vector search will be one tool in our toolkit we'll apply to the agentic tools that we build

Vector search basics (do you know what an embedding is?)

Search technologists that want to learn how to ensure RAG and agentic search win

Startups eager to get a fast start with a modern approach to search, sidestepping old, outdated practices

Data scientists that want to consider how agentic / LLM / RAG based search can be oriented towards user feedback and business outcomes

AI Search is among of the most in-demand AI Skills. AI systems need RAG, and implementing great retrieval can often have a bigger impact than prompt engineering for improving your AI and Agentic systems. Most search systems barely scratch the surface of what's possible. While others struggle with irrelevant results and frustrated users, you'll master the cutting-edge techniques that power the world's most successful search experiences—from Reddit and Spotify to the Fortune 500.Why This Course ExistsThe Problem: Many traditional search systems are stuck in the 2010s. But modern AI courses hyper focus on text embeddings and ignore many of the fundamentals of information retrieval. The result? Engineers who can't bridge the gap between amazing demos and production systems that actually work.Our Solution: Stop downloading random embeddings from Hugging Face or OpenAI and hoping for the best. Learn to systematically analyze your users' actual intent, integrate domain context, and build search that truly understands what people (and agents) need—not just what they type. This course helps you build cutting-edge AI Search systems that actually work.Ready to level-up your AI Search skills?

Bootcamp cuts through AI noise — from foundations to evaluating, securing, and deploying AI systems

June AI Engineer 

Are you an experienced engineer looking to build systems on top of LLMs, not just experiment with AI tools out of the box?In 2026, working with AI increasingly means designing and shipping products powered by LLMs: assistants, RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, evaluation systems. Many engineers use these tools but far fewer know how to structure them into reliable, production-grade systems.This program focuses on that 2026 skillset.The Hyperskill AI Engineering Bootcamp is a 10-week, hands-on program for engineers who want to move to architecting reliable AI systems. You’ll build end-to-end projects using LLMs as components: designing retrieval pipelines, working with vector databases, implementing agents, setting up evals and handling deployment, monitoring and security.The emphasis is on practical system design, trade-offs and failure modes.Modules include: • LLM pipelines &amp; system design • Agents and multi-agent patterns • Vector search &amp; RAG systems • Evaluation, monitoring, security • Deployment of LLM-based applicationsExpect ~10 hours/week of focused work.
