Moving from chatbots and AI-assisted coding to autonomous agent building requires structured, rigorous engineering. In this course, you transition to the agentic era using the supervised autonomous driving model to steer the six-step agentic engineering lifecycle - retaining human judgment while delegating execution to AI. You author specifications, establish benchmark evaluations, and deploy containerized agents to Cloud Run using Agents CLI and the Agent Development Kit (ADK). This course prepares you to build, evaluate, and release standalone AI agents with confidence. Explore other content in the Gemini Agent Ready (GeAR) program.
