About this Course
Unlock the full power of agentic AI by learning to design intelligent, stateful agents that can reason, improve, and collaborate. This course teaches you how to use LangChain and LangGraph to build workflows that incorporate memory, iteration, conditional logic, and real agent decision-making. You’ll explore how nodes, edges, and shared states enable flexible graph-based control structures for advanced AI systems.
After completing this course, you will be able to:
After completing this course, you will be able to:
- Build agentic AI systems using LangChain and LangGraph to support memory, iteration, and conditional logic
- Design and implement self-improving agents using Reflection, Reflexion, and ReAct architectures
- Apply agent orchestration techniques to build collaborative multi-agent systems
- Implement agentic RAG systems that route queries and support retrieval-enhanced reasoning
- Construct workflows that incorporate dynamic state, routing, and evaluation steps
- Create adaptive agents capable of refining reasoning based on feedback
Hands-on labs guide you through implementing Reflection, Reflexion, and ReAct architectures to build self-improving agents. You’ll learn how agents evaluate their own outputs, integrate feedback, adjust reasoning steps, and refine performance over time using structured prompt engineering and reflection loops.
You’ll design multi-agent systems where specialized agents coordinate tasks, share information, and solve complex problems. Using agentic RAG techniques, you’ll build workflows that route queries to the right agent, retrieve relevant context, and return well-reasoned answers.
By the end of the course, you’ll have practical experience building adaptive, collaborative agentic systems and the skills to design scalable AI architectures for real-world applications.
