Ready to build intelligent AI agents that can reason, improve, and collaborate? This hands-on course gives you the skills to build agentic AI systems using LangChain and LangGraph in just 3 weeks.
You’ll design stateful workflows that support memory, iteration, and conditional logic. You’ll explore how to build self-improving agents using Reflection, Reflexion, and ReAct architectures, empowering your agents to reason about their outputs and refine them over time. Plus, you’ll work on guided labs where you’ll structure agent feedback, integrate external data, and generate context-aware responses through step-by-step reasoning.
You’ll then develop collaborative multi-agent systems that coordinate tasks, retrieve relevant data, and solve complex problems using agentic RAG. Plus, you'll gain experience in agent orchestration, query routing, and governance strategies for building robust, scalable AI applications.
By the end of the course, you’ll have built working prototypes of agentic systems and gained hands-on skills to design reliable, adaptable agents. Enroll today and get ready to power up your portfolio!
This module introduces LangGraph for building intelligent, stateful AI agents that support memory, iteration, and conditional logic. You’ll explore how nodes, edges, and shared state enable dynamic workflows, and how LangGraph extends LangChain for advanced control. Through foundational concepts and hands-on practice, you’ll learn to design, build, and execute workflows that reflect real-world agentic behavior

What career opportunities can this course help me unlock?
Skills in agentic AI development are highly valuable for roles such as Software Developer, Data Scientist, Machine Learning Engineer, AI Engineer, and Automation Specialist. These positions involve building intelligent systems that use language models to reason, interact with tools, and automate complex workflows. These capabilities are increasingly in demand across industries where adaptive, language-driven automation is transforming how work gets done.
Do I need machine learning experience to take this course?
No prior machine learning (ML) experience is required. If you're comfortable with Python, you're ready to go. This course focuses on building practical agentic AI systems that reflect, improve, and act. No complex ML understanding is required.
How is agentic AI development different from traditional coding or prompt engineering?
Traditional development builds static applications, and prompt engineering fine-tunes LLM responses. But agentic AI development focuses on designing autonomous, stateful systems that can evaluate their outputs, manage memory, and interact intelligently over time. You'll learn how to architect systems that think, adapt, and collaborate, using tools such as LangGraph to build workflows with cycles, conditionals, and inter-agent communication.
When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Certificate?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Certificate, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
