Course Curriculum

Module 1: Tool & Function Calling

Define typed tools, validate inputs and outputs, handle permissions, and connect model decisions to controlled application actions.

Module 2: Workflow Planning

Model deterministic and model-assisted workflows, break goals into bounded steps, and design explicit stop and recovery conditions.

Module 3: State & Memory

Manage session state, durable task data, retrieval-backed memory, retention boundaries, and user-controlled context.

Module 4: API & Business-System Integration

Integrate approved APIs and business systems with authentication, authorization, idempotency, validation, and audit-friendly records.

Module 5: Single-Agent & Multi-Agent Patterns

Compare orchestration patterns and select the simplest architecture that meets a use case without overstating autonomous behavior.

Module 6: Guardrails & Human Review

Add policy checks, scoped permissions, confirmations, escalation paths, and meaningful review before consequential actions.

Module 7: Evaluation & Observability

Create scenario tests, trace tool use, measure reliability and latency, review failures, and monitor changes over time.

Module 8: Agent Deployment Capstone

Deploy a bounded agent workflow with secure tools, durable state, evaluation evidence, operational monitoring, and a human fallback.

Capstone Projects

Operations Support Agent

Build a permission-aware agent that gathers context, proposes actions, and requires review before updating a connected system.

Agent Deployment Capstone

Deliver and evaluate a tool-using workflow with durable state, observability, failure recovery, and documented operating limits.

AI Agent Development FAQ

This program teaches how to build AI agents using tool calling and workflow automation, over a 6 to 9 month track, focused on practical agent systems rather than theory alone.
