Design Agents That Think, Act, and Deliver.
This course is designed to help you become a YAGE - a professional who designs intelligent AI agents with purpose, structure, and precision.
You will learn how to build specialized Atomic and RAG agents, define clear roles and reasoning logic, orchestrate multi-agent collaboration using ReAct, and validate performance through traces, metrics, and real-world workflows.

Complete each topic, collect ⭐ 100 Points, and unlock your YAGE Badge - the credential you will proudly wear as a Creator of Intelligent Agents.
