AI agents are transforming the way we interact with technology, and in this specialization, you’ll learn how to build them from the ground up—without the need for complex or rigid frameworks that will be irrelevant next week. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced developer, you’ll master the core concepts that power AI agents, giving you full control over their design and capabilities.

You’ll start with the fundamentals, understanding how agent loops work, then progress to equipping your agents with tools, integrating multi-agent systems, and implementing self-prompting for more autonomous behavior. Beyond coding, you’ll develop a deep understanding of AI architecture, learning to build resilient, modular, and maintainable agents optimized for token efficiency, speed, and predictable outcomes. By the end of this specialization, you’ll have the skills to create powerful AI agents and understand how to design them independent of any framework or programming language.

This specialization is for anyone with basic Python skills—no prior experience with AI or machine learning is required. Whether you’re just starting or already experienced, you’ll gain both foundational and advanced insights into AI agents. Beginners will get a strong start, while experts will walk away with a deeper understanding of how to innovate in this rapidly evolving space. By the end, you’ll have the skills to create powerful, future-proof AI agent skills.

Applied Learning Project

Throughout this specialization, you’ll build a variety of AI agents in Python that can operate autonomously, interact with APIs, and handle real-world challenges like error recovery and external data retrieval. These hands-on projects will give you the skills to create adaptable, functional agents capable of solving authentic problems in automation, data processing, and AI-driven decision-making.
