There are 3 modules in this course

This course teaches you how to deploy fully functional, multi-agent AI systems using OpenAI’s latest tools and frameworks. You will learn how intelligent agents communicate, coordinate, and execute tasks together—then bring those capabilities into real-world applications through interactive interfaces and cloud deployment workflows.

Through hands-on lessons and guided demos, you’ll design and implement multi-agent architectures, build conversational interfaces with Streamlit, integrate external APIs, and enable structured communication using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent-to-Agent (A2A) messaging. You will also learn to secure your deployments, manage environment variables, monitor system performance, and ensure scalable, reliable operation across users and workloads. By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Explain the structure and roles of multi-agent systems, including coordinator, planner, reasoning, retrieval, and action agents. - Design and implement multi-agent communication workflows using MCP contexts and A2A message passing. - Build and deploy an interactive user interface using Streamlit to enable real-time agent interaction. - Connect the agent backend to external tools and APIs, enabling real-world task execution and workflow automation. - Deploy your multi-agent assistant securely to the cloud, managing API keys, environment variables, and runtime configurations. - Monitor, optimize, and scale multi-agent performance using practical evaluation metrics and deployment best practices. This course is ideal for AI engineers, software developers, automation professionals, and technical leaders who want to build production-ready AI assistants, agentic applications, and enterprise-grade multi-agent systems. A basic understanding of Python, APIs, and foundational AI agent concepts is recommended. Join us to learn how to deploy intelligent multi-agent systems that are scalable, reliable, and ready for real-world use.

This module introduces the architecture and design principles behind building multi-agent personal assistant systems. Learners will explore the roles of planner, executor, knowledge, and interface agents and understand how these components collaborate through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Through guided hands-on exercises with the AgentKit SDK, you’ll design modular frameworks, connect agents for shared context, and implement secure communication patterns that enable intelligent coordination and reliability across agent workflows.
