What You'll Learn

  • Understand how AI Agents work: Explain what AI agents are, how they make decisions, and how different components (like inputs, models, and outputs) work together.

  • Set up your own AI development environment: Install tools like Python, Jupyter Notebook, and required libraries to build and run your own AI projects.

  • Build a working AI Agent using Python: Create your own AI agent step-by-step, including handling user input, processing responses, and managing errors.

  • Apply AI responsibly and safely: Understand key ideas around AI ethics, trust, and safety - including how to design systems that are fair and reliable.

  • Launch a simple AI-powered app: Use tools like Streamlit to turn your AI agent into an interactive app that others can use.
