LLMs and AI Agents
Learn how Large Language Models (LLMs) and agentic AI can be used to create real business value. This program helps you understand where these technologies deliver impact, where their limits lie, and how to apply them to modern AI-driven products and operations.
The LLMs and AI Agents program bridges technical foundations with real-world applications, helping professionals identify opportunities to enhance existing products, automate workflows, and design new AI-powered capabilities.
During the program, you will examine both the architecture and behavior of LLMs, as well as the tools, frameworks, and platforms that enable agentic AI. By the end of the program, you will be equipped to make informed decisions about adopting and implementing generative AI in your organization.
Benefits
In a business environment where AI is reshaping industries at an accelerating pace, organizations benefit greatly from understanding the concepts behind LLMs and emerging agentic systems. The program helps teams make sense of what these technologies can realistically do, where their limitations lie, and how they are being integrated into modern products and workflows. By developing this internal literacy, organizations become better equipped to evaluate AI opportunities, communicate effectively with vendors and technical teams, and avoid costly misunderstandings or misaligned expectations.
