I am a bit disappointed to be honest. The course starts of with an Agent that is able to communicate with Zapier and do all kinds of cool stuff. So that's what I thought we would do. But we got to learn about general GPTs stuff so feels like I wasted my time.

Second (last) module is incoherent and stops without delivering on its last promise - to teach how to use your own tools in custom ChatGPT's.

Review for Agentic AI and AI Agents: A Primer for Leaders – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Taking this course was an incredible experience! Agentic AI and AI Agents: A Primer for Leaders provided deep insights into how AI agents function, their real-world applications, and how to leverage them for business and automation. I particularly enjoyed the hands-on approach, which allowed me to apply what I was learning in real-time—especially building a custom GPT and automating workflows. The course structure was clear, engaging, and filled with practical knowledge that I was able to implement immediately. A huge thank you to Dr. Jules White for being such a fantastic teacher! His expertise and engaging teaching style made complex concepts easy to understand and apply. I truly appreciate the effort put into making this course so valuable, and I look forward to attending more of his classes in the future.

Great course, especially for non-technical folks looking to get a first overview. Of particular interest was his idea of 'inverted interaction,' where we're asking the system to tell us what to do. That's a very helpful reminder that AI agents are supposed to figure out what to do, not just respond to prompts.

It's hard not to be contaminated by Jules' enthusiasm and engagement. He's great at giving context, both zooming out and in as required. Fully recommended.

The Instructor did an exceptionally good job of explaining Agentic AI to a non-developer. His enthusiasm kept the modules interesting and his examples did a great job of illustrating his points without getting overly technical. (The only flaw I found in his knowledge was knowing the difference between quote marks and brackets. :-) ) I would highly recommend this course to anyone who not only wants to know about Agentic AI but wants to use it themselves.

Way too much water. Bla bla bla bla... In fact, most of the videos could be compressed 4 times or more.

A course on Agentic AI without providing access to ChatGPT pro is not a course I would recommend to anyone. It's basically a youtube video.

Obviously it is completely my personal opinion and doesn't wants to hurt anyone's any perception about it. Review: Not Worthy. This course doesn't shows how to active "customize chatGPT", if we don't know how to get that, then what we are supposed to do by knowing what it can do. i.e., Someone don't know how to ride a bike and leaning about how many stunts can be done with a bike. Doesn't make any sense. In the mobile version there is no way to get the "Create" option, then rest all the inputs given in the course have no proper utilization.

Too simple. The first lecture set the expectation that we will be do automation via zapier at the end. All it did was to teach some very simple custom GPT instructions. Literally wasted hours on this as i already know. Please set expectations correctly.

Some material seems to be missing, in particular the use of other tools to produce real agentic outcomes
