WHAT’S INCLUDED
Course description
Business demand for technical gen AI skills is exploding, and AI engineers who can work with large language models (LLMs) are in high demand. This Fundamentals of Building AI Agents using RAG and LangChain course builds job-ready skills that will fuel your AI career.

Unlock the power of Large Language Models (LLMs) and take your AI engineering skills to the next level. This course, Fundamentals of AI Agents Using RAG and LangChain, is designed for developers, data scientists, and AI enthusiasts who want to build production-ready AI systems.
You’ll gain hands-on expertise in two core areas:
RAG Framework (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) Learn how to combine LLMs with external knowledge sources to deliver accurate, up-to-date, and context-aware AI responses. Master techniques to connect vector databases, optimize retrieval pipelines, and minimize hallucinations in real-world AI applications.
Prompt Engineering with LangChain Dive deep into LangChain, the industry-leading framework for building AI agents and applications. Discover how to design effective prompts, chain together LLM workflows, integrate APIs, and orchestrate intelligent multi-step reasoning.
By the end of this course, you’ll have the technical foundation to:
- Build scalable AI agents capable of reasoning, retrieving, and acting.
- Deploy LLMs that solve real business problems with precision.
- Apply RAG and LangChain to enterprise-grade projects in search, chatbots, knowledge assistants, and automation.
Prerequisites
To maximize learning, you should have:
- Basic knowledge of Python programming
- Familiarity with machine learning or NLP concepts (helpful but not mandatory)
- Understanding of APIs and databases (a plus for building retrieval pipelines)
- Enthusiasm to explore AI/LLM applications
Where It Can Be Applied

Student Feedback
Recent Reviews
The hands-on is manageable, yet allow learners to experience the actual flow of using the tools.
Course content was good but there was not much for us to do in labs. A hint based lab completely solved by the learner can be a good addition.
An amazing course. A little fast paced but fulfills its purpose of delivering the knowledge in a such a short span of time.
