Introduction to Agentic AI and AI Agents / on Udemy now

Watch an agent work. Then run one yourself.

Follow a real job from request to result, try a research comparison, and learn how to check the sources, choices and limits behind an AI agent's answer.

The first job

A comparison you can inspect.

An agent compares tools for a real decision. You look at the searches it chose, the source links it returned and the details a person still has to verify.

Then you give an agent a comparison of your own, keep the result or a record of where the run stopped, and check one part against the source.

The learning route

Understand the work behind the word.

The current curriculum moves from a first run into the models, tools, decisions and checks that make an agent useful.

  1. 01

    See and try an agent run

    Start with an observable job and a research comparison of your own, without a programming background.

  2. 02

    Find the model, tools and memory

    Separate an explanation from an action, then follow how information reaches the agent and what it keeps for the job.

  3. 03

    Tell agents and workflows apart

    Look at what starts a run, which steps software follows, and where a model chooses the next action.

  4. 04

    Check results and set limits

    Inspect sources, costs and failure points, and decide which part of the work still needs a person.

  5. 05

    Bring the idea into your work

    Compare possible uses, explain one in ordinary language and choose a small job worth trying.
