About This Course

You will build hands-on projects in both Python and JavaScript — from a simple chatbot to a fully-featured RAG pipeline, a multi-step calculator agent using tool use, and a multi-agent orchestration system powered by the Model Context Protocol. Every lesson includes real code you can adapt for your own products.

Whether you are an experienced developer entering the AI space or a practitioner who wants to move beyond basic prompting, this course gives you the architectural knowledge and practical skills to ship AI features that behave reliably in production.
