Building AI Agents for Complex Tasks
Building AI Agents for Complex Tasks is an intermediate-level course designed to equip learners with the skills to design, build, and evaluate intelligent agents that operate autonomously across dynamic, multi-step environments. Moving beyond simple chatbot flows, this course introduces learners to agent architectures that perceive context, make decisions, integrate tools, and recover from failure.
Through hands-on labs, interactive video walkthroughs, and real-world case studies—including Alexa, BabyAGI, and AlphaCode—learners will explore agent types, design patterns, tool orchestration, memory management, and behavior evaluation. They'll gain practical experience using modern frameworks like LangChain and Rasa to construct agents for use cases such as research automation, virtual assistants, and decision-making bots.
By the end of the course, learners will have built and tested their own intelligent agent and developed the foundational skills to implement agent-based AI systems that can adapt, reason, and act in real-world applications.
