About This Course

Claude is Anthropic's state-of-the-art AI model family, purpose-built for safety, reliability, and developer productivity. This course takes you from understanding what AI agents are to deploying production-ready agentic systems that can reason, use tools, retrieve documents, and coordinate with other agents.

You will build hands-on projects in both Python and JavaScript — from a simple chatbot to a fully-featured RAG pipeline, a multi-step calculator agent using tool use, and a multi-agent orchestration system powered by the Model Context Protocol. Every lesson includes real code you can adapt for your own products.

Whether you are an experienced developer entering the AI space or a practitioner who wants to move beyond basic prompting, this course gives you the architectural knowledge and practical skills to ship AI features that behave reliably in production.
