AI Agents and Agentic AI with Python & Generative AI

Coursera · Intermediate ·🤖 AI Agents & Automation ·1mo ago
AI Agents Are the Next Leap in Software. Learn to Build Them in Python. AI agents aren't passive tools. They think, act, and solve problems—without waiting for instructions. That's the future of software. And in this course, you'll learn how to build it. Frameworks come and go. Principles last. This course cuts through the noise to teach you how AI agents really work—using Python, the leading language for AI development. Forget tutorials on trendy APIs that'll be dead by next quarter. You'll learn to build AI agents from the ground up. No fluff. No shortcuts. Just the core architecture that powers intelligent systems—knowledge that stays useful no matter how fast the landscape shifts. In this course, you will: - Master Python-based agent architectural fundamentals - Understand the core GAME components (Goals, Actions, Memory, Environment) that make AI agents tick and how they work together in a cohesive Python system - Leverage Python's strengths for efficient agent development - Use Python's dynamic typing, decorators, and metaprogramming to create flexible, maintainable agent frameworks with minimal boilerplate code - Rapidly prototype and implement Python agents - Learn techniques to quickly design Python agent capabilities with prompt engineering before writing a single line of code, then efficiently translate your designs into working Python implementations - Connect Python AI agents to real-world systems - Build Python agents that can interact with file systems, APIs, and other external services - Create Python-powered tool-using AI assistants - Develop Python agents that can analyze files, manage data, and automate complex workflows by combining LLM reasoning with Python's extensive libraries and ecosystem - Build Python developer productivity agents - Create specialized Python agents that help you write code, generate tests, and produce documentation to accelerate your software development process Why Principles Matter More Than Frameworks The AI
