An Agentic AI course teaches how to build autonomous AI agents that can perceive their environment, make decisions, and take actions to achieve specific goals with minimal human intervention. These courses cover the design, development, and deployment of such systems, often using tools like LangChain, CrewAI, and AutoGen, and frameworks like LangGraph. They also explore concepts like agentic RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), multi-agent systems, and AI observability.
