Curriculum
M1: Welcome to the Agentic Era — What AI Agents Actually Are
~15 minCut through the hype. Understand what makes an AI agent different from a chatbot, see 5 real businesses already running agents today, and map your 14-module journey to becoming an Agentic AI Expert.
M2: The Anatomy of an Agent — Reasoning, Memory, Tools & Autonomy
~17 minOpen the hood. Walk through the agent loop — perceive, plan, act, reflect — using a travel-booking agent and an invoice-processing agent as running examples.
M3: Prompting for Agents — System Prompts, Personas & Guardrails
~15 minAgent behaviour is born in the system prompt. Write production-grade agent instructions with role, boundaries, escalation rules, and tone — practiced on a real customer-support agent brief.
M4: Tool Calling in Action — How Agents Use APIs, Apps & Data
~22 minThe superpower that turns a talker into a doer. See exactly how function calling works — with real JSON examples — and connect agents to Gmail, Sheets, WhatsApp, CRMs, and payment systems.
M5: Business Case 1 — Customer Support Agents That Resolve, Not Deflect
~25 minBuild a 24/7 support agent end-to-end for a real e-commerce business: order status, returns, refunds under policy, and smart human handoffs. Includes the exact metrics that prove ROI.
M6: Business Case 2 — Research & Knowledge Agents
~18 minTurn 6-hour research tasks into 15-minute agent runs. Build market-research, competitor-tracking, and document-analysis agents — demonstrated on a consulting firm and an investment analyst workflow.
M7: Business Case 3 — Sales & Marketing Agents
~17 minAgents that fill the pipeline: lead qualification, personalised outreach, follow-up sequences, and content engines — built on a real B2B SaaS sales desk and a local services business.
M8: Business Case 4 — Operations & Back-Office Agents
~20 minThe unglamorous goldmine: invoice processing, expense audits, HR onboarding, meeting scheduling, and report generation — shown on a CA firm and a 200-person company's ops desk.
M9: Agent Frameworks Tour — LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen & No-Code
~21 minPick the right build path. Honest comparison of LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, OpenAI Agents SDK, and no-code builders (n8n, Zapier Agents, Relevance AI) — matched to your skill level and use case.
M10: Multi-Agent Systems — Orchestration, Handoffs & Agent Teams
~27 minWhen one agent isn't enough. Design teams of specialised agents — researcher, writer, reviewer, publisher — with orchestration patterns, handoffs, and shared state, shown on a content studio and a loan-processing pipeline.
M11: Memory & Knowledge — RAG and Long-Term Memory for Agents
~22 minMake agents that know YOUR business. Connect agents to company documents with RAG, give them long-term memory of customers and decisions, and keep knowledge fresh — built on a support desk and a sales team example.
M12: Evaluating & Testing Agents — Reliability, Cost & Quality
~22 minAn agent that works in demos but fails in production is worse than no agent. Build evaluation suites, golden test sets, cost dashboards, and regression checks — with real numbers from a 10,000-ticket support agent.
M13: Safety, Governance & Human-in-the-Loop
~18 minDeploy agents your CFO and legal team can trust. Permission scoping, audit trails, approval gates, prompt-injection defence, and India's DPDP compliance — illustrated with a banking agent gone wrong and fixed.
M14: Production Deployment & Your Agent Roadmap — Capstone
~25 minBring it all together. Deployment checklist, rollout strategy (shadow → assisted → autonomous), monitoring, and your capstone: design a complete agent for YOUR business using the 5 downloadable templates from this course.
