Overview

Bruce Hopkins demonstrates all the steps necessary to build multiple AI agents: the travel website agent, customer service agent, CSV data file access, and the smart home agent.

AI Agents can unlock the next generation of experiences for AI-based applications for your customers, users, and employees. Learn about the types of problems that they help solve compared to traditional uses of ChatGPT and other Large Language Models, and gain the skill set to create your own.

In this course, we discuss various capabilities of the current state-of-the-art AI models used by ChatGPT, which have advanced learning and reasoning capabilities. These models are able to solve complex problems and provide users with answers in natural language, but they can only answer based upon the information that they have been trained with.

This course will show you how to properly create and leverage AI Agents using HTTP REST calls, which can be implemented in any language.
