Introduction to Agents
An overview of agentic AI; what is agentic AI, how does it differ from the typical chatbot interaction. Understanding the agentic tooling landscape.
-
Workers and Orchestrators
Understand the approaches to agentic workflows.
-
Skills and Capabilities
Understand what allows agents to operate, and how to equip them with functionality.
-
From Chatbots to Agents
Understand the critical shift from conversational AI to agentic AI. We'll define what an agent is, how it differs from a simple chatbot, and explore the landscape of modern agentic tools (e.g., CrewAI, n8n, autonomous agents).
-
The Agentic Framework
Learn the core architectures of agent-based systems. This lesson covers single-agent vs. multi-agent approaches (like "Workers") and the role of an "Orchestrator" (or Manager) in coordinating tasks, delegating work, and ensuring goal completion.
-
Building Your Agent's Skills, Tools, and Knowledge
An agent is only as good as its capabilities. Learn how to equip agents with "Skills" (specific functions), "Tools" (like web search or API access), and "Knowledge" (by providing files or data) to allow them to operate in the real world.
-
Designing Agentic Workflows
Before you build, you must plan. This lesson focuses on deconstructing a complex task (e.g., "research and write a market report") into a clear, step-by-step process that can be assigned to a team of specialized agents.
-
Building a Multi-Agent Team (Lab)
Put theory into practice. We'll use a popular framework like CrewAI to define, build, and launch a multi-agent team (e.g., a "Researcher" agent and a "Writer" agent) to complete a complex goal.
-
Low-Code Automation (Lab)
Explore how to build agentic workflows in a visual, low-code environment. We'll see how to connect AI agents to other apps (like Google Sheets, Slack, or email) to create practical, end-to-end automations.
-
Debugging, Testing, and Human-in-the-Loop
Agents don't always get it right. Learn how to monitor agent performance, debug hallucinations or loops, and implement a "Human-in-the-Loop" system for critical approval steps.
