AI agents courses and concepts

An AI agent is a system that pursues a goal by taking a series of actions on its own: it plans the steps, uses tools such as search or other software, and adjusts based on the results, rather than giving one answer and stopping. This lets AI carry out tasks that take many steps, such as researching a question or resolving a customer support request. Because an agent acts without a person approving each step, an early mistake can carry through the steps that follow, so a well-built agent has limits on what it can do and points where a person checks its work. Learning the subject means understanding how agents plan, use tools and keep track of information, and how they are set up, tested and supervised.
