Learn AI Agents (Coursera)

The curriculum offers an in-depth examination of ReAct prompting, teaching students how to plan and construct prompts that lead to desired actions and responses from the AI. Participants will learn the principles of prompt engineering, which combines elements of psychology, linguistics, and data science to shape the AI's interactions.

In addition to theoretical knowledge, the course emphasizes practical experience. Students will engage in hands-on exercises to refine their skills in building ReAct prompts, understanding the "loop" mechanism that enables continuous and context-aware interactions, and setting up code that facilitates these sophisticated dialogues.

By focusing on ReAct prompting, the course prepares learners to create AI agents that are not only responsive but also proactive in their engagements, resulting in more natural and effective human-AI interactions. This specialized training is particularly beneficial for those interested in enhancing user experience and creating more intuitive AI systems.

This course is part of the AI Engineering Specialization.

What you'll learn

- Construct ReAct prompts that enable AI agents to engage in dynamic, context-aware dialogues with users.

- Implement loop mechanisms to ensure continuous processing and responsiveness of AI agents to ongoing interactions.

- Develop and integrate action functions that dictate AI agent behaviors in a variety of interaction scenarios.

Syllabus

Learn AI Agents

This course offers a deep dive into the development of AI agents, with a particular focus on ReAct prompting, a technique for creating responsive, context-aware AI interactions. Participants will learn to craft dynamic prompts, manage continuous loop processes, and develop action functions that allow AI agents to behave in a sophisticated and user-responsive manner. By the end of the course, learners will be equipped with practical skills to build and implement intelligent AI agents capable of complex, real-world interactions.
