Agentic AI and AI Agents: A Primer for Leaders" is an excellent course for anyone looking to understand how agentic AI is reshaping leadership, strategy, and business execution. The content is thoughtfully structured, balancing technical foundations with real-world applications. What I appreciated most was how clearly the course explained the difference between traditional AI models and agentic AI systems, which are designed to operate autonomously, make decisions, and adapt to changing environments. The examples and case studies provided a strong bridge between theory and practice, making the concepts easy to grasp even for non-technical leaders. The instructors did a great job of breaking down complex topics like decision-making frameworks, ethical considerations, and governance models for AI agents. I particularly valued the section on integrating agentic AI into organizational strategy, as it gave me actionable takeaways for my own work. Overall, this course is not just informative but truly forward-looking. It empowers leaders to think beyond automation and understand the transformative potential of AI agents in driving innovation and efficiency. Highly recommended for executives, strategists, and decision-makers preparing for the next wave of AI-driven change

A great course to introduce Agentic AI for non-tech people like me. If you are a technology enthusiast but does not know how to code, learning how to have AI agents working for you could be exciting! I was able to create my first app after a couple of modules - a quiz game for 11-year-old daughter based on her interests (Taylor Swift, Harry Potter and K-Pop)! Really nice!

Really helpful to understand the concept of GPT and be able to start first-step creating your own GPT. I want to move onto the 2nd Moduel and building own AI assistants and being able to bring it to my daily practices.
