Course Overview

AI agents are rapidly transforming how individuals and businesses work—handling repetitive tasks, making intelligent decisions, and automating entire workflows without constant human input. This course is designed to help beginners understand, build, and deploy AI-powered agents using modern no-code and low-code tools.

Unlike theory-heavy courses, AI Agents 101 focuses on practical, real-world implementations. You will learn how to design automation workflows, integrate AI into decision-making processes, and connect multiple tools to create intelligent systems that work autonomously.

By the end of the course, you won’t just know what AI agents are—you’ll have built several working AI agents used in finance alerts, recruitment, customer support, communication, and productivity systems.

What You’ll Learn

• What AI agents are and how they differ from traditional automation

• How to design intelligent workflows using n8n and Zapier

• How to self-host automation tools using Docker

• How to build AI-powered bots for Slack, Discord, email, and customer support

• How to create multi-agent systems that work together

• How to visualize and document AI system architecture

Course Structure & Learning Approach

This course follows a progressive learning path:

• Foundations first: Understand AI agents, workflows, and automation logic

• Hands-on setup: Install and configure n8n using Docker

• Core skills: Master triggers, nodes, and workflow logic

• Real projects: Build functional AI bots and automations

• Advanced applications: Create AI agents that interact with business tools

• System thinking: Learn to design and document scalable AI systems

Each module builds on the previous one, ensuring you move from beginner concepts to real-world deployment without overwhelm.
