AI Agents & Orchestration

This is where AI stops answering and starts acting. You will build agents that plan, use tools, remember, and work together — the systems behind the most exciting products being shipped anywhere right now.

From Answers to Actions

An agent is a model with goals, tools and judgment.

Everything you have learned so far comes together here. Prompting becomes planning. Tool calling becomes real-world action. RAG becomes an agent's knowledge. And you learn the orchestration patterns that keep autonomous systems safe, observable and useful.

You will build with the same frameworks and protocols used in production teams today — not toy versions of them.

What You'll Cover

The modern agent stack, hands-on

1

Agent Fundamentals

What separates an agent from a chatbot: goals, loops, tool use, reflection and stopping conditions — and when a simple pipeline beats an agent entirely.

2

LangChain & LangGraph

Building agents as explicit graphs: state, nodes, edges and checkpoints, so complex behaviour stays debuggable instead of becoming a black box.

3

Multi-Agent Systems

Orchestrating teams of agents with CrewAI and AutoGen: roles, delegation, shared memory, and the coordination patterns that actually work.

4

Tool Use, Memory & Planning

The three pillars of capable agents — designing good tools, choosing what an agent remembers, and letting it break big goals into achievable steps.

5

Agent SDKs

Working directly with the Anthropic Claude API, the OpenAI Agents SDK and Google ADK — the vendor-native ways to build production agents.

6

Model Context Protocol

MCP, the open standard for connecting agents to tools and data: what it solves, how servers and clients work, and building your own MCP integrations.

By the End

You will be able to…

Next module: agents need a home — you ship everything as a real product in Building & Deploying GenAI Apps.

Build AI That Acts

Agents are the frontier of applied AI — and the most sought-after skill in the field. Learn to build them properly, free, with mentors beside you.
