What You'll Learn

This advanced course is designed to equip participants with the skills to build, deploy, and optimize agentic applications. Through a series of hands-on workshops, learners will explore topics such as prompt engineering, persona creation, retrieval-augmented agents, and model fine-tuning, culminating in the ability to prototype AI systems that can perform autonomous actions.

- Design and implement request-response agents for various applications - Create retrieval-augmented agents that can access and utilize external knowledge - Develop autonomous agents that can take actions based on goals and environmental context - Implement utility AI with different operational modes for more sophisticated agent behavior - Build multi-process agents that leverage traditional AI tools for stable and predictable performance - Design and prototype agent swarms for collaborative problem-solving - Reuse and adapt existing agents for new applications and contexts - Understand the principles of agent architecture and communication
