Agentic Thinking 101

via Udacity

Overview

Most people plateau a few months into using AI. They know how to summarize documents or rephrase emails, but they're not getting more out of these tools over time. The reason usually isn't a lack of technical knowledge — it's how they're approaching the tools. Agentic Thinking 101 covers multiple small shifts in how to work better with AI: when to give AI goals instead of steps, defining what "done" looks like, why being surprised by AI is a good sign, how to recognize never-ending tasks, and a few practical habits that work better than they have any right to. This course shows these ideas in use in multiple AI tools, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Microsoft Copilot. No coding background required.
