Course Description

Curious about Machine Learning and AI but not sure where to start?
This course is your perfect entry point.

"Machine Learning, LLMs & Agentic AI – A Beginner's Conceptual Guide" is designed to give you a clear, intuitive understanding of how modern AI works — without needing any coding or math background.

We start from the very basics, explaining what machine learning is, how it's different from traditional programming, and the types of learning like supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning. You’ll also learn how models are built, evaluated, and improved, and get familiar with common algorithms like regression, decision trees, neural networks, and more — all explained in a way that’s easy to follow.

From there, we shift gears into the exciting world of Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT. You’ll learn how LLMs are trained, what tokens and parameters mean, and how techniques like prompt engineering and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) enhance performance.

Finally, we introduce you to the emerging field of Agentic AI — a major shift where AI systems can plan, reason, remember, and act autonomously. You’ll explore agent architecture, memory, planning, multi-agent collaboration, real-world tools, and the ethical challenges of deploying such systems.

Whether you're a student, a professional looking to upskill, or simply curious about the future of AI — this course will give you the conceptual clarity and confidence to take the next step in your learning journey.

By the end of this course, you will:


  • Understand core machine learning concepts and processes

  • Get familiar with popular ML algorithms and their purpose

  • Know how Large Language Models like ChatGPT work

  • Learn what makes Agentic AI different and powerful

  • Explore real-world tools and use cases for agents

  • Gain clarity on emerging trends like MLOps and AI ethics


No coding. No prior experience. Just clear, beginner-friendly explanations to help you confidently explore the world of AI.

Gourav J. Shah

I'm Gourav, founder of School of DevOps™, and I'm on a mission to help DevOps engineers master Agentic DevOps and MLOps using the AI DevOps Mastery System.

With over 20 years in DevOps, Cloud, and Platform Engineering, I've helped 300,000+ engineers across 15+ courses go from confusion to confidence — landing roles they never thought possible, and now navigating the shift into AI-augmented Ops.


Why Learn From Me?

Real-World Projects, Not Just Theory

My courses are built around problems real companies solve every day, so you're not just watching, you're building.


Designed for Career Impact

Whether you're transitioning into DevOps, going deeper with Kubernetes, or moving into MLOps, AIOps, and Agentic DevOps, my courses follow a clear roadmap toward mastery.


Hands-On, Project-First Learning

I don't believe in passive learning. My students build live systems, tackle real deployment challenges, and grow within a community of builders.


What I Teach

- DevOps Foundations + CI/CD

- Kubernetes, GitOps, Platform Engineering

- Cloud Infra with Terraform & AWS

- MLOps, AIOps & AI-Augmented Ops

- Agentic Workflows & AI for Infra Automation

The graphics are a hot mess that have been generated with an early, crappy AI tool. Most of the text in the graphics is hallucinated gibberish.

By Paul Christian D. Toyor on 4/15/2026

This is purely moot and academic, though it could be more compressed or improved over time.

By Rita Gupta on 4/15/2026

All appropriate analogy is used in presentation for each and every topic.

By Keith Lankford on 4/7/2026

Thorough summary and overview placing the working parts of AI, ML, LLMs, and Agentic AI in context.
