Build Powerful AI Agents with OpenAI Tools

AI agents are transforming how businesses operate, from automating customer support to powering research and decision-making. This Professional Certificate gives you hands-on experience with the tools driving this transformation, i.e, GPT-5, the OpenAI Responses API, the Agents SDK, and the GPT Store. Designed for software developers, engineers, and product professionals, this program helps you go beyond chatbots to design, build, and deploy production-ready AI agents. You’ll start by mastering the foundations of agentic AI and learning how to build intelligent tool-using agents with the Responses API. Next, you’ll develop custom functions, integrate third-party APIs, and orchestrate complex multi-agent systems using the OpenAI Agents SDK. Finally, you’ll learn to deploy your agents with Streamlit, Flask, and modern UI patterns, preparing them for real-world environments. Through guided projects, labs, and applied practice, you’ll graduate with a portfolio of working agents, including a multi-tool technical support agent, a custom analytics agent, and a deployed production agent. Along the way, you’ll gain in-demand skills in agent orchestration, function calling, REST APIs, cost optimization, and secure deployment. No prior AI experience is required, but basic proficiency in Python and familiarity with APIs are recommended. By completing this program, you’ll be prepared for emerging roles such as AI Engineer, Applied AI Developer, and AI Product Specialist.
