Course overview

Organizations have mostly used AI in a question-and-answer style: a person asks, AI answers, and the person then does the follow-up work every time. Today AI has moved beyond an assistant waiting for commands to an AI agent that takes a goal in human language and then plans on its own, chooses its own tools, works through many steps in sequence, checks the results and adjusts until the goal is met. This capability is rapidly changing how organizations work, because tasks that once needed

a person to click through each step can now be handed to an agent from start to finish. This course is designed for professionals and teams who want to understand and actually build AI agents, focusing on business use rather than deep programming. Learners come to understand an agent's anatomy - its brain (LLM), memory, tools and planning - learn key agent patterns such as ReAct, Tool-use, Planning and Reflection, build a first agent that calls real tools and APIs, extend to multi-agent systems that

divide roles and collaborate, connect agents to real systems via MCP and platforms like n8n, and set the reliability, guardrails, human-in-the-loop, security and PDPA practices needed before putting agents into production. All content is taught through workshops on real tasks and finishes with a capstone project where learners build an end-to-end AI agent for their own organization's work. (2 days, 6 hours per day, 12 hours in total, Intermediate to Advanced level, prior generative-AI use recommended, no programming required.)

What you’ll gain

Curriculum

Course Details

A 2-day course, 6 hours per day (12 hours in total), delivered as a hands-on workshop with a capstone project. Intermediate to Advanced level. Learners take home their own AI agent, agent and multi-agent design templates, and a reliability, security and PDPA checklist.

Day 1 Understanding and Building Your First AI Agent

Section 1: Getting to Know AI Agents

  • What an AI agent is and how it differs from a chatbot, workflow and Custom GPT
  • From Q&A to goal delegation: Perceive, Plan, Act and Observe
  • Agent autonomy levels and choosing the level that fits the task's risk
  • AI agent use cases by department and which tasks do and do not suit an agent

Section 2: Anatomy of an AI Agent

  • Core components: brain (LLM), memory, tools and planning
  • The agent loop: perceive, plan, act and check results to adjust
  • The role of the system prompt and goal in shaping agent behavior
  • Agent limits and risks: looping, wrong decisions and runaway cost

Section 3: Key Agent Patterns

  • ReAct (Reason + Act) alternating thinking with doing
  • Tool-use pattern: selecting and calling the right tool for the task
  • Planning pattern: breaking a big goal into sub-tasks and steps
  • Reflection pattern: having the agent review and improve its own work, and choosing the pattern by task and cost

Section 4: Building Your First Agent No-code / Low-code

  • An overview of platforms for building agents without programming, and setting goal, role and scope
  • Setting instructions and a stopping condition so the agent does not exceed its scope
  • Testing and observing the agent's planning and decisions
  • Workshop: build an AI agent that takes one task and plans multiple steps to a result

Section 5: Tools and Function Calling to Make the Agent Act

  • Tools and function calling that let the agent act, not just answer
  • Connecting common tools such as search, API calls, calculation and file read/write
  • Writing tool descriptions so the agent selects them at the right time, and handling wrong tool calls
  • Workshop: connect tools so the agent pulls data from an external service and completes the goal
Day 2 Multi-Agent, Real-system Integration and Governance

Section 6: Memory and Knowledge for Agents

  • Short-term and long-term memory and their effect on agent behavior
  • Having the agent use real organizational data with RAG (retrieval augmented generation)
  • Managing context and selecting relevant data for the agent
  • Reducing hallucination and having the agent cite sources

Section 7: Multi-Agent Systems and Orchestration

  • Why some work needs multiple agents rather than a single one
  • Collaboration patterns: supervisor and worker, role division and hand-off
  • Coordinating agents, aggregating results, and cautions on complexity and cost
  • Workshop: design a team of 2-3 agents that divide roles to run one process together

Section 8: Connecting AI Agents to Real Systems

  • Connecting agents to data and systems via MCP (Model Context Protocol)
  • Placing agents in automated processes with n8n and receiving events via webhook
  • Connecting channels such as Gmail, LINE and Slack so the agent receives tasks and returns results
  • Approaches for securely connecting databases and internal systems (demo)

Section 9: Reliability, Guardrails and Human-in-the-loop

  • Designing guardrails to limit what the agent can do
  • Where human approval is required (human-in-the-loop) for high-risk work
  • Handling errors, loops and capping step count and cost, and testing agent quality before production
  • Workshop: add guardrails and human approval points to the agent from the earlier workshop

Section 10: Security, Cost, PDPA and AI Governance for Agents

  • Agent-specific risks: over-broad tool access and prompt injection via external data
  • Managing permissions and credentials on least privilege
  • Data the agent must not access and protecting personal data under PDPA
  • Controlling usage cost and maintaining an audit trail and AI usage policy for agents

Section 11: Capstone Project and Real-world Adoption

  • Task: build an end-to-end AI agent for one of the learner's real tasks, setting goal, role, tools and memory with guardrails and human approval points
  • Connect the agent to a real system or channel and test end to end
  • Present the work and get feedback, plus a first-30-days adoption plan and extending to an organizational agent system

Frequently asked questions

How does an AI agent differ from a chatbot and an automated workflow?

A chatbot answers one message at a time as the user asks. An automated workflow follows steps that a person defined in advance, every time. An AI agent takes a goal, plans its own approach, chooses which tools to use, carries out several steps, checks the results and adjusts when something goes wrong. That suits work whose steps vary with the situation, but you must set its level of autonomy and approval points according to the risk.

What is the ReAct pattern for AI agents, and how does it work?

ReAct, short for reason and act, has an agent alternate between thinking and doing. It reasons about what to do next, calls a tool such as web search, a file reader or an API, observes the result, and uses that to decide the next step, repeating until the task is done. Answers are grounded in real data and you can trace how the agent decided, but you should cap the number of loops to stop it running endlessly.

How does a multi-agent system with a supervisor and workers operate?

A supervisor agent takes the goal, breaks it into subtasks and hands each off to a worker agent that specialises in one area, for example one researches, another writes the report and a third checks accuracy. When the workers return their results, the supervisor combines and reviews them and decides whether to move on or ask for revisions. Each agent has its own focused instructions and tools, which is easier to maintain and debug than a single agent doing everything.

Who is the AI Agents for Business course for, and what should I know beforehand?

It suits regular AI users who want to move from an AI assistant to a system that works on its own, IT, operations and innovation teams setting up agents, team leads who want to delegate multi-step work, and executives who want to understand the potential and risks. You should have used ChatGPT or Claude. Programming is not required, though reading JSON or having called an API helps with tools and MCP.

What will I be able to do after the AI Agents for Business course?

You will be able to judge which work suits an AI agent, build no-code or low-code agents that call real tools and external APIs, apply patterns such as ReAct, planning and reflection, give agents memory and access to organisational knowledge, design multi-agent systems, connect them to business systems through MCP and n8n, and put guardrails and human review in place. Participants who complete the training receive a Certificate of Completion with its own number, which can be verified online.

Can the AI Agents for Business course be run in-house for our team?

Yes. It can be run in-house for your team, with examples adapted to your own work, such as designing agents around your departments' real processes and setting human approval points in line with your organisation's policies.
