The Market Has Now Shifted Permanently

Companies are hiring for AI engineers who can build, deploy and maintain agentic AI systems in production.

  • 3x Growth in AI Engineer Job Postings Since 2023


    Build Research Agent and Writing Workflow with full evaluation systems, observability, and deployment pipelines. These are production templates you can adapt for market research, content & report generation, diagrams, documentation, or any domain where autonomous intelligence and automations with agentic patterns add value.

  • $185k Market Salary for AI Engineering Roles


    Learn to design workflows that stay maintainable as requirements evolve. Master when to use deterministic routing versus agent autonomy, when to keep humans in the loop, and the patterns that scale from prototype to production.

  • 74% of Eng. Teams Ready to Deploy Agents n 2025


    We teach system design fundamentals from scratch, not just today's frameworks. Graduate with two deployable agents, certification, and the engineering judgment to architect any AI system, regardless of which tools are trending next.

What You'll Build

Three production-ready capstone projects you can demo to employers, use in your work, or deploy for clients.

  • Research Agent

    Build an autonomous research system to synthesize structured research notes. You'll implement:


    • Multi-source data collection – crawl websites, GitHub repositories, and YouTube videos
    • ReAct reasoning loops – iterative research patterns
    • Tool orchestration – integrate Firecrawl, gitingest, Gemini, and Perplexity via function calling
    • Multi-round research cycles – automated query generation and refinement
    • Human-in-the-loop feedback – user-approved query workflows

  • Writing Workflow

    Transform research into publication-ready content with multi-modal outputs. You'll implement:


    • Multi-modal generation – text, Mermaid diagrams, and images
    • Chain-of-thought prompting – coherent long-form content generation
    • Evaluator-optimizer patterns – automated quality control loops
    • Orchestrator-worker architecture – context engineering for style control
    • MCP-based editing tools – real-time collaboration with Cursor
    • LangGraph workflows – production pipeline orchestration

  • Agent Architecture

    Master the complete production stack for AI agents, from foundations to deployment. You'll implement:


    • Durable workflows – LangGraph's functional API for stateful orchestration
    • Custom evaluation frameworks – LLM judges and alignment scoring
    • Opik monitoring – debugging and tracing non-deterministic behavior
    • Production deployment – Docker, Cloud Run, CI/CD pipelines
    • Authentication & state – Descope integration and Cloud SQL management
    • Integration patterns – deploy to Cursor, Claude, or custom implementations

Build Your First Working Agent in Week 1


󠁯You won't spend weeks on theory before touching code. By the end of your first week:

• Deploy two working agents to production
• Understand core agent configuration patterns.
• Master the fundamentals by building, not reading or watching tutorials

Great value for agentic knowledge

Victor Palomares

This course starts with the basics, giving you a great foundation, and gradually build on more concepts until being able to deliver a enterprise-grade production-ready reliable agentic system. I fully recommend it!

Hands-On, Industry-Centered, Production-Ready Course

Abreham melese Booobnb

The course is industry-focused, emphasizing real-world constraints rather than flashy demos, and it is highly hands-on.

Who Is This Course For?

Anyone with a basic understanding of Python and the drive to build production AI.

  • Developers

    You're building traditional software but want to add autonomous AI features. You understand APIs and system integration, but need to learn agent orchestration, evaluation frameworks, and how to deploy AI that runs reliably in production.

  • Serious AI Learners

    You've experimented with LLMs and built demos, but don't know how to make systems production-ready. You're looking for the engineering patterns, testing practices, and deployment strategies that turn prototypes into scalable solutions.

  • Career Pivoters

    You have solid coding fundamentals and see the AI opportunity, but lack hands-on experience building agentic systems. You need a structured path to transform your existing skills into AI Engineering expertise that employers recognize.


Towards AI's mission is to make "building with AI" more accessible.
 Since 2019, we have helped teach over 400k about AI with our courses, blogs, tutorials, books, community, and personalized consultancy.


After shipping 21 AI apps, Paul Iusztin has used his best-selling LLM Engineer's Handbook, Decoding AI Magazine, and social media platforms to lead 162,000+ AI engineers out of "demo purgatory" and into production-grade engineering.
