AI Agents 101: Foundations of AI Agents
About this course
This course introduces beginner learners to the core ideas behind agentic AI using clear language and concrete examples from modern organizations.

We will explore high impact use cases in IT support, customer service, sales, operations, and personal productivity from the US, Europe, and fast growing digital markets. You will practice spotting workflows where AI agents can safely assist, using simple opportunity mapping frameworks tailored for non technical professionals.
