Course Description
Welcome to AI Agent Engineering: Build Production-Ready AI Agents — a 21-day practical journey designed to take you from the fundamentals of AI applications to advanced AI agent systems.
Throughout the course, we will build, experiment, and progressively add capabilities such as memory, tools, RAG, planning, MCP, multi-agent systems, orchestration, and deployment. Also we will learn to use Frameworks LangGraph, CrewAI, LangChain to develop AI Agents.
And at the end of the journey, we will bring many of these concepts together to build an AI Research Agent and a Research AI Agent Platform.
What will you learn?
During this 21-day journey, you will progressively learn:
Day 1–6: Build the Foundation
Build your first AI chatbot using Python
Add conversation memory
Learn prompt engineering
Teach AI assistants to use tools
Build applications that can work with documents
Build your first RAG system
Day 7–13: Enter the World of AI Agents
Build your first AI Agent
Understand Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Build autonomous AI agents
Learn advanced agent planning
Explore memory engineering
Build advanced RAG systems
Understand MCP in greater depth
Day 14–15: Advanced & Production-Ready Agents
Understand multi-agent systems
Learn agent orchestration
Explore how to make AI agents production-ready
Day 16–19: Agent Engineering Frameworks
You will work with:
LangGraph
CrewAI
LangChain
The focus is not only on using frameworks, but on understanding how they can be used to build and structure AI agent applications.
Day 18–21: Build the Research AI Agent
You will build an AI Research Agent, explore deployment, and finally bring the concepts from the course together in the capstone project:
Research AI Agent Platform.
Learn by Building
This is a practical course.
Instead of learning concepts in isolation, we progressively build systems and add new capabilities to them.
You will see how individual concepts such as:
LLMs → Memory → Tools → RAG → Agents → Planning → MCP → Multi-Agent Systems
can progressively come together to create more sophisticated AI applications.
The objective is not simply to complete 21 days of videos.
The objective is to develop the understanding and practical experience required to build AI agents yourself.
Who is this course for?
This course is suitable for:
Developers
Software Engineers
Students
AI Enthusiasts
Developers interested in Generative AI
Anyone who wants to learn how AI agents are engineered
You don't need to know everything about AI before starting.
However, you should be comfortable with working on computers.
How should you approach this course?
Don't just watch the videos.
Watch → Code → Experiment → Understand → Build
Pause the videos and write the code yourself.
Experiment with the examples.
Change things.
Try different approaches.
Make mistakes and learn from them.
The goal is not simply to reach Day 21.
The goal is to develop the ability to understand and build AI agent systems.
Start Your AI Agent Engineering Journey
AI is evolving rapidly, with new models, frameworks, protocols, and techniques appearing continuously.
This course is designed to give you a practical foundation in the concepts and engineering approaches behind modern AI agents.
By the end of this journey, you will have explored the major building blocks of AI Agent Engineering and used them to build increasingly sophisticated systems.
So, are you ready?
Start the 21-day journey and let's build AI agents.

Pankaj Shukla
I am Pankaj Shukla, an IIT Delhi Master of Techology in Computer Science and Engineering with more than 25 years of experience in Information Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, digital learning, emerging technologies, and technology-enabled education.
I spent over two decades with NIELIT under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India, progressing from Scientist B to Additional Director. I chose to leave government service early to begin a new chapter dedicated to what I genuinely enjoy — teaching, learning, and making technology easier to understand.
My teaching philosophy can be expressed in four words:
“Don’t Memorize. Understand.”
I believe that a good teacher should make a difficult concept feel simple without compromising its technical depth. My focus is not just on showing learners what to do, but on helping them understand why something works, why it is needed, and how different concepts connect with each other.
My courses combine clear conceptual explanations with extensive hands-on practice. Learners move progressively from fundamentals to implementation, experimentation, problem-solving, and building complete applications.

Outstanding course! It takes complex, advanced AI agent concepts and explains them in the simplest, most intuitive way possible. The practical demos and step-by-step breakdown give you real confidence in building production-ready systems.
By Lamanik Dzmitry on 9/25/2026
too verbose. Whole day section to add a system prompt?
By Sunil Roongta on 9/23/2026
Very goog explaination right from the beginning for the real beginner who do not know anything. I was searching such type of course only. Sir prepare more courses.
By Deepti prakash mohapatra on 9/23/2026
This course is a Gold for me . I never saw these kind of syllabus content and explanation anywhere. The course actual worth much much higher around more than 1 lac rupees. Thanks a million once again
