Agentic AI with Claude: Build an Agent That Does the Work
Go From 'What Is an AI Agent?' to a Working Agent That Acts on Your Tools
Everyone's talking about AI agents - few can actually build one. This course demystifies agentic AI with Claude and walks you through building a real agent that does a repetitive task for you. You'll learn to spot the right workflow to automate, choose between a prompt, a skill, and an agent, build it, connect it to your real tools with MCP, and orchestrate a small multi-agent team.

Course Overview
'Agentic AI' is the phrase of the year, but most people still can't build an agent that does anything useful. This course fixes that with a working example, not buzzwords.
You'll learn the builder's method the best Claude courses teach: find a painful, repetitive workflow, deconstruct it, decide whether it needs a prompt, a skill, or a full agent, then build it and connect it to real tools through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
By the end you'll have a working agent that acts on your data and a mental model for turning any recurring task into an agent - plus a first taste of orchestrating multiple agents together.
What you'll learn
Explain what an AI agent is and when building one beats a simple prompt
Spot a repetitive workflow in your own work that is worth automating
Choose the right tool for the job: a prompt, a skill, or an agent
Build a working Claude agent that completes a real multi-step task
Connect your agent to real tools and data using MCP
Orchestrate a small multi-agent team and know what to build next
