In a major boost for AI enthusiasts and tech learners, Google has launched a free, comprehensive course on AI Agents, marking the next significant advancement in artificial intelligence.
Designed to help learners understand, design, and deploy autonomous intelligent systems, the course is open to everyone through Kaggle, Google’s data science platform.
The course, initially rolled out as a live event, continues to be accessible to learners, who can watch recorded sessions, complete assignments, and progress at their own pace.
Expert contributors from Google, NVIDIA, Cohere, and Grove AI add depth to the curriculum, offering insights into real-world applications of agentic systems.
WHAT THE COURSE OFFERS
According to Google, the course delves into how AI agents automate tasks, make decisions, and learn from interactions with their environment.
It combines academic theory with hands-on practical labs, providing learners with both the knowledge and tools to create their own working AI agents.
The curriculum includes:
-
Agent architecture: Structure, components, and control mechanisms of an agent.
-
Tools and frameworks: APIs, orchestration layers, and model-wrappers used in agent development.
-
Memory and decision-making: How agents recall past data, analyse situations, and make adaptive decisions.
-
Evaluation and scaling: Measuring performance and ensuring readiness for real-world deployment.
The five-day programme features over 20 video modules, interactive discussions, and coding assignments, culminating in a capstone project that challenges learners to build a functional agent, such as a task assistant or a memory-based chatbot.
WHY THE COURSE STANDS OUT
While most AI learning resources focus on language models or vision systems, this initiative shifts attention to AI agents, self-sufficient systems capable of planning and executing complex tasks autonomously.
The collaboration with Kaggle enhances accessibility, allowing participants to revisit sessions, practice independently, and continue learning beyond the event.
The course’s applied learning approach ensures that participants learn by doing, developing a project-based portfolio by the end.
AI agents are already being integrated by leading companies such as HubSpot, Adobe, and SK Telecom, signalling a broader industry shift toward agent-driven operations.
Learners can access the complete curriculum on Kaggle’s official website under Kaggle–Google AI Agent Course.
