  • Why take this course?

    This course introduces learners to Agentic AI - systems that go beyond passive response generation and instead act autonomously toward goals. In contrast to traditional AI tools, agentic systems can plan, make decisions, use external tools, and even reflect on their actions. Designed for learners who have already explored Generative AI, this course bridges the gap between using AI and designing AI-driven workflows that simulate autonomous behavior.
    Through hands-on projects and real-world examples, students will gain foundational knowledge in multi-step reasoning, task decomposition, tool integration, and memory - the building blocks of agentic systems. This course sets the stage for future industry-specific tracks in business, education, finance, and more.

    AI is evolving — and it's learning to take initiative. This course explores the next frontier: Agentic AI. Unlike basic chatbots or assistants, agentic systems can plan, act, and adapt to achieve goals. You’ll learn how these intelligent agents work, how to design them, and how they use tools, memory, and multi-step reasoning to function independently. Perfect for professionals, technologists, or innovators who want to go beyond using AI and start building with it. This course lays the foundation for advanced, industry-specific agentic AI training.
