Agentic AI is transforming industries, and this course will ensure you’re leading the charge, not playing catch-up. Understanding their capabilities and limitations is essential for staying competitive in this rapidly evolving landscape. This course demystifies Agentic AI, teaching you how these agents work and how to design them to suit your needs. By the end, you’ll not only know how to differentiate genuine AI innovation from overhyped gimmicks but also be equipped to build tools that deliver tangible value.

Great course, especially for non-technical folks looking to get a first overview. Of particular interest was his idea of 'inverted interaction,' where we're asking the system to tell us what to do. That's a very helpful reminder that AI agents are supposed to figure out what to do, not just respond to prompts.

This course was a bit of a disappointment as it seemed to be a replay of the Custom GPT course. The material about step by step instructions and using both text and picture feedback was very good and new. But a lot of the other material such as RAG and creating a GPT were covered in other courses. I used to experience a similar level of frustration when I first started taking networking courses with Cisco. I'd sign up for a five day class and it wasn't until Thursday afternoon I learned anything new. It seemed like a waste of time and money. It might be better than to have a lot of mini-courses with duplicative content, to have a larger roadmap of courses that don't have to repeat. I understand that if students are given a grab bag of courses, you have to provide sufficient content to help them through that course, as they may not take another. But if the goal is to learn generative AI more fully, a program where each course builds on a previous one rather than repeats a lot of the material would be better.
