Agentic AI for Everyone: This course focuses on AI agents, workflow automation, and multi-agent systems. It also helps learners understand how to improve productivity, business efficiency, and decision-making using AI and more. As per the government press note, the program will offer “hands-on exposure to designing and governing AI-powered workflows and agentic systems using no-code platforms.”

Engineering Agentic AI Systems: This programm is provides in-depth knowledge for people who want to design, build, and deploy. Learners will get hands-on training in no-code/low-code tools and code-based frameworks, which will help them develop more advanced and customised AI agents using programming.
