You've probably heard about AI agents and how they're changing the game for knowledge work. This agentic AI course breaks down what agents actually are and how they're different from regular AI workflows. We'll walk you through the building blocks that make agents autonomous — like retrieval systems and tool integration — and show you real ways to use them at work. By the end, you'll know when to reach for AI agents (and when not to) plus have what you need to start building your own agentic systems. No coding background required.
