The Agentic AI course exceeded my expectations with its clear explanations, hands-on assignments, and real-world applications that made complex concepts easy to grasp. Great instructor.
MM
A lot of fun, and it takes you from the basics of prompt engineering to complex but extremely useful patterns and formulae. Grab this course and you'll be "programming" in plain English in no time.
BW
Excellent primer. A lot of things finally clicked for me in this course, and I'm excited to continue on from here.
SL
Charismatic professor that explained the topics in a light-hearted way, thus making learning enjoyable. He explained a variety of topics in a short amount of time which was very much appreciated.

I over-estimated the faults of AI. This course was an eye opener with regard to shaping the responsiveness of generative Ai. It is a very good introduction to Agentic AI, a term new to me.

The pace of the course and explanation given by Professor Jule's were easy to understand and comprehend Material -Video content and transcript , assignment were user friendly and very well laid out
KS
Very helpful conceptualizing for me at a beginner level - fantastic breakdown into shorter bite size videos helped also pacing the information and allowing for it to be absorbed.
WA
I really loved it, I used chatgpt to understand the videos and I'm glad coursera offers context under the videos, this helped me finish the certificate in not a long time, all it takes is dedication.
JR
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.
EW
After taking this course, I feel much more confident in leveraging ChatGPT for content creation, problem-solving, and more. Highly recommended for anyone looking to master AI interactions! ?
DK
Jules' facilitation skills are amazing. He has truly simplified the course. The use of background screen for demo is also smoothly done.

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.
Too basic
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. This course has significantly enhanced my understanding of AI, and I’m excited to continue building AI-driven solutions. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to gain a strong foundation in AI agents and their impact on leadership and business strategy! 🚀
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.
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.
I have really enjoyed learning about Agentic Ai and Custom GPT from Jules White from Vanderbilt University - they are explained in a simple way so that everyone can understand!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Agentic AI and AI Agents: A Primer for Leaders offers a clear and insightful overview of how AI can be strategically leveraged to enhance leadership and decision-making. It provides valuable frameworks for leaders to understand and implement AI-driven solutions effectively in their organizations.
As someone new to the agentic ai world this was the perfect course to get started and build off of my existing knowledge and experience with GPTs. Super simple and easy to understand yet full of very useful information
Super clear and concise intro into GPT's and their use! Thank you for providing this entry point into how to embark on a journey into AI.
This course is fantastic. It's super easy to follow and the delivery is perfect for teaching. The instructor is the absolute best.
Practical, quick and interesting. Enabled me to quickly create a career advice GPT tailored specifically to my work experience.
Great instructor. Jules is very animated and excited about the topic (Agentic AI) which makes the course more engaging.
This is a fantastic overview on what agentic Ai is, highly recommended for those that wants to get up to speed quick.
I found concepts were very clearly taught. Well, thought through examples. Good course for non-technical people.
Very well done beginner course. Course material was the right length and instructions were easy to follow.
Really enjoyed the professor's approach to teaching. Hope to take more of his classes in the future.
