PRE-WORK
This module introduces learners to the AI landscape. They explore key concepts, technologies, and business applications of AI, Generative AI, and Agentic AI. The module also provides foundational knowledge of the tools and environments used throughout the program. Learners begin building AI-powered solutions using no-code tools.
Concepts Covered
MODULE 01 | GENERATIVE AND AGENTIC AI FOUNDATIONS
In this module, learners gain an overview of the Generative AI and Agentic AI landscape. They explore the critical distinctions between generative and discriminative AI and their applications. They also gain an understanding of bias and hallucination associated with modern AI systems. Learners then build a strong foundation in how large language models (LLMs) work and in prompt engineering techniques. They explore techniques to improve prompt stability, automate prompt optimization, and establish robust evaluation of Generative AI workflows through deterministic metrics and LLM-as-a-Judge. Finally, learners explore Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), including how to chunk documents, query vector databases, and systematically evaluate retrieval quality to ground models in authoritative external knowledge.
Week 1 | The Generative AI and Agentic AI Landscape
Week 2 | Python Programming with Generative AI
Week 3 | Large Language Models and Prompt Engineering
Week 4 | Prompt Optimization and Evaluation
Week 5 | Retrieval-Augmented Generation
Week 6 | Learning Break
Week 7 | Project Week
MODULE 02 | BUSINESS APPLICATIONS WITH AGENTIC AI
In this module, learners build on a fundamental understanding of LLMs to explore the design and implementation of AI Agents for automating business workflows. They begin by learning about the foundational components of Agentic AI architectures, including the ReAct (Reasoning and Acting) framework and multi-step reasoning for task decomposition. They also explore practical tool integration patterns and memory incorporation in AI Agents. Learners then examine the fundamental differences between LLMs and classical software security. They ground solutions in the CIA Triad (Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability) and analyze critical failure modes such as prompt injection attacks. Finally, they learn to implement layered guardrails to architect resilient AI Agents governed by responsible AI principles and safety boundaries.
Week 8 | Single-Agent Systems
Week 9 | Advanced Tools and Planning in AI Agents
Week 10 | Responsible AI
Week 11 | Project Week
MODULE 03 | ADVANCED AGENTIC AI SOLUTIONS
In this module, learners explore how to orchestrate a team of AI Agents for complex business applications. They begin by analyzing the operational bottlenecks of single-agent workflows. They then explore multi-agent orchestration as a scalable coordination solution and Agentic RAG pipelines, where multiple agents collaborate across complex data retrieval and response generation stages. Learners also evaluate AI Agents using metrics such as task completion rate, tool call accuracy, reasoning coherence, and latency. They explore human-in-the-loop validation to ensure accuracy and reliability in Agentic AI solutions.
