About This Course

AI Agents in Practice tackles the messy reality of getting agentic systems actually to work. It’s not just about chaining LLMs; it’s about what happens when they drift, forget context, or pick the wrong tool for the job. We dig into the components, the orchestrators, and the whole memory management problem.

You'll work through 11 Hands-on Labs, use 135 Practice Quizzes to solidify the ideas, and study 10 Comprehensive Chapters. This course won't make you an instant expert in every domain an agent might touch; that's impossible. Expect to get a better handle on the engineering tradeoffs. We also have 69 Flashcards, 57 Practice Exercises, and 69 Key Terms available.

Skills You’ll Get

 

  • Orchestrator Selection: Picking the wrong orchestrator means your agent won't scale or will constantly hit performance walls.
  • Memory Management: Agents will lose context or repeat actions without proper memory strategies, making them useless in complex tasks.
  • Tool Integration: Agents become isolated and incapable of real-world action if they can't effectively use external APIs or databases.
  • Multi-Agent Workflow Design: Without clear interaction protocols, multi-agent systems devolve into chaos, wasting compute and time.

We cover established, widely used frameworks like LangChain and LangGraph. The landscape shifts too fast to promise exhaustive coverage of every new release.

It assumes some programming familiarity, especially with Python. The labs are designed to guide you, but independent debugging often becomes necessary.

The course provides foundational understanding and practical build experience. Production readiness usually involves more robust testing, security hardening, and specific infrastructure considerations.

We use an e-commerce example to illustrate agent building. Applying agents to other business contexts requires adapting the principles to those specific domain challenges.
