Generative AI Engineering: LLMs, RAG, and Agentic Systems (Udemy.com)

Build Real-World Generative AI Systems with LLMs, RAG, and AI Agents

Go beyond prompts and chatbots. This course takes you on a complete, progressive journey from Generative AI fundamentals to advanced system-level techniques.

You’ll start by mastering the core concepts of LLMs, NLP, and AI model behavior, then move into applying RAG pipelines, vector search, and prompting patterns. Finally, you’ll tackle advanced topics such as agentic systems, multi-agent orchestration, LangGraph workflows, MCP, and model fine-tuning.

Learn to design and implement intelligent AI workflows and system components using multiple LLMs, LangChain, LangGraph, embeddings, and agentic reasoning—without the pressure of building full production applications.

Skip the beginner fluff—this is for engineers, architects, and technical founders who want to understand how modern GenAI systems are actually structured and engineered.

What You Will Learn

1. Understand Generative AI foundations and how LLMs work, including OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and Hugging Face models.

2. Apply RAG pipelines, vector search, embeddings, and structured outputs to create robust AI workflows.

3. Learn prompting techniques, in-context learning, and fine-tuning strategies for advanced LLM behavior.

4. Build and test agentic and multi-agent systems using LangChain and LangGraph.

5. Explore MCP servers and clients to integrate LLM reasoning with external tools and services.

6. Understand system-level best practices for efficiency, scalability, cost, and responsible AI deployment.

Hands-On Learning

This is a learning-by-doing course, focused on frameworks, patterns, and exercises, rather than fully functional apps. You will:

• Work with multiple LLMs and open-source models to understand their behavior.

• Implement retrieval pipelines, multi-agent patterns, and workflows in hands-on exercises.

• Explore LangChain, LangGraph, embeddings, vector databases, and MCP integration in manageable components.

• Gain practical, reusable code snippets and exercises without the stress of shipping a full product.

Who This Course Is For

• Software engineers & application developers learning system-level GenAI design

• Solution and platform architects designing LLM-powered workflows and pipelines

• Cloud, platform, and backend engineers transitioning into Generative AI engineering roles

• Startup builders and technical founders exploring AI-native system architecture

• Professionals preparing for Generative AI Engineer / Applied AI / Architect roles

Not for beginners expecting “easy prompts and chatbots,” or for data scientists seeking a math-heavy course.
