Courses on Building AI Agents
23 courses for developers building AI agents — systems that use a language model to reason, choose actions, call tools, and complete multi-step tasks with limited supervision. Most are about building agents rather than the concept: connecting a model to tools, giving it memory, and controlling the order of its steps so it can complete a task.
An AI agent is what you get when a language model is given goals, tools, and the ability to decide its own next step — and building one that behaves reliably is an engineering task in its own right. These courses are for developers doing exactly that: connecting models to tools and APIs, giving agents memory and state, orchestrating several steps or several agents toward a goal, and handling the ways autonomy goes wrong. Most courses teach one framework or platform, such as LangChain, Google's Agent Development Kit or the Claude API, and several have you build a working agent along the way. This is the builder's counterpart to understanding what an agent is — if you already grasp the idea and want to make one work, start here.

Frequently asked questions
- What does it take to build an AI agent?
- Building an agent means connecting a language model to tools and data, giving it memory and a way to plan multiple steps, and adding control and guardrails so it acts reliably — which is why these courses focus on frameworks, orchestration, and hands-on coding.
- How are these different from the AI Agents concept pages?
- The glossary and topic pages explain what an AI agent is, while these Develop AI courses are for building one in code — tools, memory, orchestration, and deployment.
- Do I need to know a specific agent framework first?
- No — these courses typically teach the frameworks and patterns as they go, though solid general programming experience is assumed, since building agents is hands-on development work.
