Google has introduced a free, in-depth online course titled “5-Day AI Agents Intensive”, developed in partnership with Kaggle, to help learners and practitioners understand and build autonomous AI agents—one of the fastest-growing frontiers in artificial intelligence.
Here’s what you should know:
- The course runs from November 10–14, 2025, and is open for self-paced access after the live period.
- It covers core areas such as agent architecture, memory & decision-making, frameworks & tools, production readiness, and hands-on labs.
- Designed by Google’s machine-learning engineers and researchers, the curriculum transitions from simple single-agent builds to sophisticated multi-agent systems.
- Delivery formats include video lessons on Kaggle’s YouTube channel, live Q&A/discussion channels (Discord), and a capstone project opportunity.
Why This Matters
Autonomous AI agents—software systems that perceive an environment, make decisions, initiate actions and adapt over time—are widely regarded as the next major evolution in AI. The new course arrives at a moment when the industry is increasingly shifting from isolated models to agentic, interactive, autonomous systems.
For students, developers, researchers and industry professionals, this means:
- Gaining early access to agent-design thinking and practical implementation.
- Building a future-proof skill-set, as AI agents move beyond simple assistants to proactive collaborators.
- Having a structured, industry-backed learning path that bridges theory and production with hands-on labs.
Course Structure & Key Topics
Below is a breakdown of the main modules you’ll encounter:
- Agent Architecture: How agents are structured — components, control loops, environment interface.
- Tools & Frameworks: APIs, model-wrappers, orchestration layers, agent builders.
- Memory & Decision-Making: How an agent tracks state, recalls past contexts, adapts strategy.
- Evaluation & Production Readiness: Metrics for agent performance, monitoring, scaling from prototype to deployment.
- Capstone Project: Apply your skills to build a sample agent (chat-bot with memory, task-oriented assistant etc.).
Eligibility & Access
- The course is free for all; you don’t need to pay to enrol or access the core modules.
- While no heavy prerequisites are stated, familiarity with programming, basic ML/AI concepts and Python may help you make the most of the labs.
- You’ll need access to a computer, internet, and willingness to engage with coding exercises and a project.
Implications for India & Global Learners
For learners in India (and globally), this is a timely opportunity:
- With the boom in AI hiring and agentic systems in tech-ecosystems, early exposure gives a competitive edge.
- The self-paced model means you can adapt it around existing commitments (studies, job etc).
- You can build a portfolio project that you can showcase to employers working on next-gen AI.
- The free access mitigates cost barriers common in specialized AI training.
