AI Agents represent a major shift beyond traditional large language models (LLMs): instead of simply generating text-based solutions, they can also act autonomously to execute them. This course introduces the fundamentals of AI Agents, how they differ from LLM APIs, and where they add value in the real world. Based on Google’s agents whitepaper, it provides the theoretical foundation needed before writing your first lines of agent code—ideal for developers, architects, and technical decision-makers who want to understand AI systems through the lens of autonomous, goal-directed behavior (and not just text generation). Join the community forum for questions and discussions.
Gain a conceptual overview of AI Agents. Discover how AI Agents use autonomous action and reasoning to solve complex problems. You’ll explore the technical architecture—models, tools, and orchestration—that enables agents to learn, plan, and achieve goals on your behalf.
Complete the intermediate Engineer Data for Predictive Modeling with BigQuery ML skill badge to demonstrate skills in the following: building data transformation pipelines to BigQuery using Dataprep by Trifacta; using Cloud Storage, Dataflow, and BigQuery to build extract, transform, and load (ETL) workflows; and building machine learning models using BigQuery ML.
Demand for cloud-skilled workers is rising. According to a report by Indeed, cloud computing jobs are expected to grow by 22% over the next five years, much faster than the average for all occupations. Play now to get hands-on experience building with Google Cloud's powerful coding and infrastructure management tools. Each lab teaches and tests your growing tech skills, and sets you on the path to your first Google Cloud credential.
