There are 5 modules in this course

This hands-on course teaches you to build collaborative multi-agent AI systems from the ground up using a single real-world project: an autonomous content & market-research agency where specialized AI bots (researcher, analyst, writer, editor, and manager) work together as a team. Every concept is demonstrated through this evolving project, building progressively from a single agent to a fully orchestrated, production-deployed crew with memory, custom tools, and a live API. By course end, learners will have a portfolio-ready, end-to-end multi-agent system

Frequently asked questions

No. The course starts with the fundamentals of CrewAI, including agents, tasks, crews, and flows. Basic Python knowledge is recommended.

You will build "AgentForce," an autonomous research-to-publishing AI agency where multiple AI agents collaborate as researchers, analysts, writers, editors, and managers.

Crews manage autonomous collaboration between AI agents, while Flows provide event-driven orchestration, state management, and conditional execution for production-grade workflows.
