Make from beginner to pro - AI Automations and AI agents (Udemy.com)
Automate tasks, integrate AI, and build smart workflows using Make - no coding required
Created by: Thalita Milan
Last updated April 2026
Our take
Based on the ratings of 645 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in April 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.
This is a beginner course on Make, the no-code automation platform, aimed at marketers, freelancers, VAs and operations people. It runs about 6.5 hours across 92 lectures and 13 sections. The syllabus starts with triggers, actions and data structures, moves into everyday business automations, then connects OpenAI and finishes with AI agents, including a lead qualifier and a YouTube comments agent, each built as a hands-on project. It was last updated in April 2026, which matters for a tool that changes its interface often.
Reviewers like Thalita Milan's teaching. Many call it clear, step by step and approachable, and they single out the assignments and supporting files as useful practice. The complaints are consistent too. Some find the first half too basic and slow, and a few say she repeats points and leans on verbal tics. Several reviewers dislike the audio, one describing an echo. One student says some demonstrated tools, such as Perplexity, are paid, which stopped them following along. The harshest reviews call it superficial in places.
The ratings lean positive: 368 of 645 are five stars and 194 are four, against 23 one or two star ratings. Think of it as a gentle on-ramp, not a deep build course. It suits anyone who wants to get from zero to a working AI agent without code. Anyone who already builds scenarios will probably find it slow.
Pros
- Starts at triggers and actions, then builds up to OpenAI and AI agents
- Assignments and supporting files give hands-on practice, reviewers say
- Two guided agent projects: a lead qualifier and a YouTube comments agent
- Refreshed in April 2026, recent for a fast-changing tool
Cons
- Audio gets criticized, with reports of echo and mouth clicks
- Some find it too basic and repetitive, with points restated several times
- Some demoed tools like Perplexity are paid, which blocked one student
A very enjoyable and well-structured course. Thalita is engaging and explains everything in a clear, approachable way, which makes learning Make.com feel much less overwhelming.
Real beginners fit well. No Make, coding or AI experience is needed, only a free Make account.

This course is incredibly thorough and well-structured. I went in wanting to get a solid handle on Make, and I walked away with so much practical knowledge. Thalita breaks down complex workflows into simple steps that actually make sense. The assignments were great for getting some hands-on practice, and the extra resources are super useful to reference later. Highly recommend if you want to master Make!
By Jola Tacij on 7/11/2026
A very enjoyable and well-structured course. Thalita is engaging and explains everything in a clear, approachable way, which makes learning Make.com feel much less overwhelming. I am learning so much and really appreciate the practical assignments and supporting files throughout the course. They make it easier to follow along, practise, and gradually build confidence. I am very happy with the experience so far and would warmly recommend the course to anyone starting with Make.com, AI automations, or AI agents.

Thalita explica muy bien cada paso del curso sin embargo, este es un curso para iniciarte en el mundo de los AI agents, no es avanzado pero te da las herramientas para empezar a crear tus IA Agentes.
By Sylvia van Weber on 3/27/2026
Its were all in all very valueable information, also good for people with no or basic knowlage. At times it was to much, more advanced information like some apps u dont use or have, or cant get because ur watching from a company business account, the HR CV checking and similar. But all in all a very interessting course. I learned alot and builing new skills.
By Emmanuel Akpan on 3/18/2026
It was a beautiful experience. Every detail was easy to grasp. Thalita broke down every concept to the simplest form. I had some prior knowledge about Make.com, I had even created a few automations on it. But I took this course like a beginner and I got to understand the nitty gritty of Make. Even the stuff I couldn't grasp on my own were totally demystified when I took this course. I love how she gave detailed instructions on each assignment, and practically held my hands through them (because the instructions were so easy to follow, it felt like she was beside me telling me what to do at every time). It's a really great course for anyone that wants to learn about AI Automations and AI Agents using Make. I'm excited for what I'm going to do with my newly learnt skill, and I would absolutely recommend this course to others.
By Marisabel Guevara on 3/1/2026
This course goes from the basics to understand the logic behind the automations, and how make.com works. There are many use cases and exercises. It is easy to follow and very dynamic the way that Thalita explains all the terms and concepts. My only suggestion is that I would love the course to include a recap just-text part, maybe at the end of the course or after each section, as an easy guide to look back on when we are practicing on our own projects later on.
By Bethany Waldenmeyer on 2/26/2026
This course gave the basics of starting from scratch in Make; still much more to learn, especially with the Agents (which Make literally just changed the whole setup on their website as I was starting on those modules), but this was very informative in getting started. I didn't realize that actually connecting one of the LLMs to use would need an API key first and that it would cost extra $, so I will have to play around with that for more testing and building scenarios. And I just loved the instructor! Very personable and knowledgeable. I'll be subscribing to her YouTube channel as well for ongoing tips.
By Melvin Alegre on 2/13/2026
This course is a good start for me to learn the AI Automation basics. Thalita is very clear in her examples and explanations. I would love to see her make another course using n8n soon. I like the way she presents this course! Thank you!
By John Wash on 2/10/2026
It's been eye-opening and educational to know that one can do a lot of things with AI nowadays. I have not done most of the assessment because I was using my phone for all the videos, but I will have to go back to the beginning and watch them again
By Anton John on 1/5/2026
its not kinda how I wanted to learn, I wanted to learn what is the purpose of this what is the purpose of this word , what is the purpose of this module, etc, maybe a deep understanding , but maybe ill learn it in the Make Academy
