DeepLearning.AI
Agentic AI is a free-to-learn intermediate course from DeepLearning.AI, online. It takes about 10 hours and ends with a paid certificate.
For developers with intermediate Python who want to build agents properly rather than copy demos. Pairing the four design patterns with evaluation and error analysis is what sets it apart. It runs to roughly ten hours. Auditing is free, but graded assignments and the certificate need Pro (USD 25 a month on an annual plan or USD 30 a month monthly). For a free, open alternative, see the AI Agents Course from Hugging Face.
Andrew Ng covers four agent design patterns (reflection, tool use, planning, multi-agent) plus evaluation, error analysis and deployment, with code examples and graded assignments.
