Foundations of AI Agents

Catalog description

AI is rapidly transforming the business world, and understanding the language of AI and the fundamentals of how it works is increasingly becoming table stakes across many jobs. Agentic AI extends large language models (LLMs) beyond passive chatbots into active agents capable of taking actions in the real world to improve business processes and workflows. In this course, we explore the underlying principles of building effective AI agents. Students will learn to make design decisions in order to architect better agent AI solutions. The course culminates in a demo day where students present the AI agents they built to solve business problems of their choice.
