Advanced AI Agents
The frontier of AI isn't a smarter chatbot — it's systems that plan, use tools, and get work done with less supervision. Building agents that are both capable and controllable is one of the hardest and most valuable skills in AI right now.
Who it's for
- AI and software engineers ready to build autonomous, tool-using systems.
- Graduates of AI Engineering who want to go to the frontier.
- Technical builders automating real, multi-step work.
Prerequisite: you've built with LLMs before — AI Engineering or equivalent experience.
What you'll build
A deployed multi-step (or multi-agent) system that automates a real workflow, with the evaluation and guardrails that make it trustworthy.
What you'll learn
- Design and build agents that plan, reason, and use tools to complete real tasks.
- Orchestrate multiple agents that collaborate reliably.
- Give agents memory, control their behaviour, and keep them safe and predictable.
- Evaluate and debug agentic systems — the hardest part of the job.
- Deploy an agent that automates meaningful work.
- 01What an agent really isFrom single-shot prompts to planning, reasoning, and action loops.
- 02Tools and environmentsGiving agents capabilities, and designing the tools they use well.
- 03Planning and reasoningTask decomposition, reflection, and getting agents to think before they act.
- 04Memory and stateShort- and long-term memory, context management, and continuity.
- 05Multi-agent orchestrationCoordinating agents, roles, and hand-offs without chaos.
- 06Control, safety, and guardrailsKeeping autonomous systems predictable and within bounds.
- 07Evaluating and debugging agentsObservability and evaluation for systems that don't behave the same way twice.
- 08Ship an agentDeploy an agent that does real work. Capstone.

Questions
Good to know.
Is this for beginners?
No. It assumes you've already built LLM applications. Take AI Engineering first if that's not you.
What will I build?
A working agent, or multi-agent system, that automates a real task — deployed and evaluated.
How is this different from AI Engineering?
AI Engineering teaches you to build reliable LLM apps. This teaches you to build systems that act with autonomy — the harder, newer discipline on top.
