Course details
How are agentic AI systems different from predictive and generative AI systems? How do agentic AI systems work, and how can they be built using different types of AI agents? What are the foundational architectures that agentic AI systems are built upon? With over 100 custom figures, this course provides an engaging visual exploration of the primary architectures, key components, and core modules of agentic AI systems. Join LinkedIn Top Voice and author Thomas Erl as he explains—in clear, simple language, without jargon—the inner workings of intelligent and autonomous agentic AI systems and describes how individual AI agents can be designed to perceive, reason, act, learn, and collaborate with each other to form greater solutions.
