Outcomes, not lecture notes.
Explain how agentic AI systems differ from traditional prompt-response tools and why that distinction matters
Define clear goals and scope for an AI agent so it stays focused, useful, and safe
Experiment hands-on with platforms like AutoGPT, CrewAI, Cognosys, and AgentOps to complete real multi-step tasks
Design multi-step AI workflows that operate semi-independently to save time and scale effort
Set guardrails and evaluate agent performance to catch errors before they compound
Identify appropriate use cases for agentic AI versus simpler AI tools
Prototype an agentic workflow applied to a real-world task or project of your choosing
Meet Lloyd.
Lloyd
Lloyd is an AI-native entrepreneur who specializes in automating businesses and processes with agentic workflows. His tech career started as "The YouTube Ads Guy," and when the early releases of ChatGPT and other LLMs emerged he saw AI as the most transformative technology of our lifetimes - and set about learning everything he could about it. Nowadays he's happy to check in between classes on the AI agents running his businesses while he shows Varsity Tutors students how they can do the same.
AI isn't just answering questions anymore — it's setting goals, making plans, and taking action on its own. Agentic AI Essentials is a four-session course that pulls back the curtain on this next wave of artificial intelligence: autonomous tools and multi-step workflows that don't just respond to a prompt but actually work toward an outcome. Students and forward-thinking learners will get hands-on with real platforms — including ChatGPT with memory, AutoGPT, CrewAI, and AgentOps — learning how to design, direct, and deploy AI agents for meaningful tasks. This isn't a survey of buzzwords; it's a practical, skills-first introduction to the technology that's already changing how professionals work, build, and solve problems. Whether you're curious about where AI is headed or ready to start building smarter workflows right now, this course gives you the framework to do it confidently and responsibly.
