Curriculum

8 modules, from fundamentals to mastery

Every module blends live teaching, practice and feedback — open each one to see exactly what you will cover.

01

From LLMs to Agents

What makes an agent different from a chatbot: goals, tools and a loop that observes results and decides what to do next. The mental model everything else builds on.

  • Explain the agent loop and where it beats plain prompting
  • Match autonomy levels to business risk
  • Recognise common agent failure modes early

02

Tool Use and Function Calling

Give agents hands: connect them to APIs, files, code and the web, and handle the messy reality of tool errors and unexpected results.

  • Define clean function schemas agents can use reliably
  • Route between tools and recover from failures
  • Build safe custom tools for real tasks

Planning, Reasoning and Memory

Agents that think ahead: task decomposition, the ReAct pattern, reflection and the memory systems that let agents work across long horizons.

  • Apply ReAct and decomposition to complex goals
  • Design short-term and long-term memory
  • Add reflection so agents correct their own mistakes

Multi-Agent Systems

When one agent is not enough: orchestrators and workers, role-based crews, handoffs and the communication patterns that keep systems coherent.

  • Design orchestrator-worker and crew architectures
  • Manage handoffs and shared context between agents
  • Prevent loops, deadlocks and runaway costs

Agent Frameworks and Platforms

A guided tour of the working ecosystem — from code-first frameworks to hosted assistants and no-code builders — and how to pick the right one.

  • Build the same agent in more than one framework
  • Choose frameworks by team, use case and constraints
  • Persist, stream and deploy agent applications

Safety, Guardrails and Operations

The professional difference: agents that act need permissions, approvals, audit trails and monitoring. Learn to ship autonomy that enterprises can trust.

  • Design human-in-the-loop approval for critical actions
  • Scope permissions and isolate agent sandboxes
  • Run evals and monitor agents in production

Q1. What separates an AI agent from a plain chatbot?

A bigger model
It takes actions with tools in a goal-driven loop
A better user interface
Longer answers

Agents pursue goals: they reason, call tools, observe results and iterate — chatbots only exchange messages.

Q2. The ReAct pattern combines…

Testing and deployment
Reasoning and acting in alternating steps
Retrieval and fine-tuning
Planning and billing

ReAct interleaves thought steps with tool actions, letting the agent adjust its plan based on what it observes.

Q3. Agent memory exists so that…

Model weights can be stored
Context and learnings persist across steps and sessions
Images load faster
Data gets encrypted

Memory lets agents track progress in long tasks and recall relevant history — essential beyond single exchanges.

Q4. Human-in-the-loop design means…

Humans write all the code
A person approves critical actions before they execute
No automation is allowed
Live chat support

For sensitive actions — sending, paying, deleting — a human checkpoint keeps autonomy safe and accountable.

Q5. Multi-agent orchestration is most useful when…

A task decomposes naturally into specialist roles
GPUs are idle
Prompts are very short
The dataset is small

Multiple agents shine when work splits into roles like researcher, writer and reviewer that hand off to each other.
