My 5-Day AI Agents Bootcamp Learning Path Experience - Kaggle

I'm Karan Chaudhary, and joining the Kaggle AI Agents Intensive sponsored by Google has been one of the most transformative learning experiences I've ever had. Over 5 days, I developed clarity, confidence and knowledge of how modern AI agents really work.
This program didn’t just teach me things — I settled into a newfound place of belonging, a profession and an aesthetic.I would move to Liverpool the following September.
it shifted my perspective, broadened my skill base, and got me on a path in AI

🌟 Course That Changed The Game I got this program and it transformed my world.
Before I joined this intensive, I had so many questions:
What do thinking and doing look like from the inside of an AI agent?
How do agents and tools integrate?
What is MCP and why does it matter?
What is the handling of memory, context and session?
How does a mock-up become a real thing?
During those five days, I just got all of that finally.
This course was the missing knowledge I have always wanted to fill.

🤖 Get to Know AI Agents — From Confusion to Clarity
Until this program, I would have assumed that all of the “AI agent” chatbots were always just scripts.
But the boot camp taught me that a true agent is something different:
It uses multiple tools
It connects systems through MCP
It remembers in the body: context and memory.
It maintains stability through sessions
It is a complete intelligent system so it can do things
This is the first time I really understood how AI as a product is made and gets shipped.

🧰 Tools & MCP — The Most Eye-Opening section!?!?

Sessions on Agent Tools and MCP were very useful for me.

I learned:

How to build custom tools

Multiple tools connecting to one agent

How MCP enables smooth communication

Agent empowerment by means of using tools

For the first time, I felt:

“Yes, I can also build actual production AI systems.”

🧠 Memory & Context Engineering — The Magic Sauce Of Smart Agents

I think that is the one most impressed by me.

I didn't understand how before:

Memory works

Sessions store information

Context affects responses

User history improves agent performance

Now I understand that:

An agent is not effective because of prompts.

An agent is powerful due to structured memory, context, and tools.

It shifted how I thought about creating smart workflows on a macro level.

🚀 The Capstone Project – My Biggest Confidence Boost

The capstone project tied it all together.

I applied:

Tool creation

Context engineering

Agent quality improvement

Prototype-to-production thinking

What finishing the project taught me:

“I really learned something out of it. I can build more.”

" This gave me a lot of confidence and that encouraged me to learn more.

🎓 What I Learned From This Boot Camp

A solid understanding of modern AI agent construction

Understanding of tools, MCP, memory and context.

Proficient in designing stable, structured AI systems

Practical experience through hands-on tasks

A complete capstone project

Rejuvenated zeal towards learning and growth

Most importantly:

I learned things that would expand me in my journey into AI.

🙏 Thank you Kaggle, thank Google

I am greatly appreciated due to Kaggle and Google who have provided such an advanced course that's very well organized and hands on.

This was no ordinary 5-day course —

it was a game changer for me.

I look forward to exploring more of AI using the techniques that I used during this endeavour.

Thank you for the amazing opportunity.
