Course Outline

1

Agent Fundamentals

5 lessons

Understand what AI agents are, how they differ from chatbots, and explore the major architectures and frameworks powering modern agentic systems.

What Are AI Agents?
Agent vs Chatbot
Agent Architectures (ReAct, Plan-and-Execute)
Agentic Frameworks Overview
Building Your First Agent
2

Tool Use

5 lessons

Master the tool use design pattern — how LLMs call functions, how to build custom tools, and how to integrate web search, APIs, and databases.

Tool Use Design Pattern
Function Calling with LLMs
Building Custom Tools
Web Search & API Integration
File System & Database Tools
3

Agentic RAG

5 lessons

Go beyond basic RAG with self-reflective, corrective, and adaptive retrieval strategies that give agents intelligent control over their knowledge retrieval.

What is Agentic RAG?
Self-RAG (Self-Reflection on Retrieval)
Corrective RAG (CRAG)
Adaptive RAG (Routing Queries)
Building an Agentic RAG Pipeline
4

Planning

5 lessons

Master the planning design pattern — how agents decompose tasks, reason about actions, execute plans, and correct course through reflection.

Planning Design Pattern
Task Decomposition Strategies
ReAct Loop (Reasoning + Acting)
Plan-and-Execute Pattern
Reflection & Self-Correction
5

Multi-Agent Systems

5 lessons

Design and build multi-agent systems where specialized agents collaborate through supervisor architectures, debate patterns, and orchestrated workflows.

Multi-Agent Design Patterns
Supervisor Architecture
Debate & Consensus
Specialized Agent Teams
Orchestrating Multi-Agent Workflows
6

Agents in Production

5 lessons

Deploy agents to production with robust memory systems, context engineering, safety guardrails, and interoperability protocols like MCP and A2A.
