Welcome to Module 2 of the Agentic AI Developer Certification Program! 🚀
Whether you wrapped up Module 1 with a completed project or you're continuing your learning at your own pace — we’re excited to have you here as we kick off the next phase of your journey.
In Module 1, we laid the foundations: you explored how LLMs can be used to build smart assistants, designed multi-step workflows, and implemented powerful retrieval pipelines. Along the way, you picked up prompting techniques, memory management strategies, and system design patterns that turn static chatbots into dynamic assistants.
Now it’s time to level up.
Module 2 is where we shift from building assistants to building agents — systems that can reason, use tools, and operate more autonomously. We’ll introduce you to LangGraph, dive into multi-agent architectures, and show you how to scale your systems with tools, observability, and design patterns that are built for real-world complexity.
You’re not just using LLMs anymore — you’re engineering intelligence.
Let’s begin.
Before we dive into this week’s lessons, we’re also introducing the Module 2 Project — your capstone for the next four weeks. This project will challenge you to apply everything you learn in Module 2 to build and document a real, agentic system. You'll find a separate publication outlining the requirements, expectations, and submission details.
Here’s how the lessons for Week 5 are structured:
Lesson 1: Learn when to graduate from workflows to agents
Lesson 2a: Dive into LangGraph — what it is, how it works, and why it matters
Lesson 2b: Build your first graph system using LangGraph (no-LLM)
Lesson 2c: Build an Agentic system using LangGraph
Lesson 3: Add observability with LangSmith
Lesson 4a: Use built-in tools and toolkits in LangChain
Lesson 4b: Build and register your own custom tools
By the end of this week, you'll have the skills to move beyond linear task flows and start building truly agentic systems. You’ll understand the building blocks of agent graphs, tool integration, and debugging workflows — all with real-world code.
Onward!
