AI agent intensive course

📝 Course Journey Summary
The Google × Kaggle 5-Day AI Agents Intensive Course was a transformative learning experience that moved the author beyond basic AI concepts.
🌟 Key Takeaways by Day:
• Day 1 (Agent Fundamentals): Established that AI agents are autonomous systems that observe, think, act, and learn, introducing concepts like Agent Loops, Environments, and Reasoning Systems.
• Day 2 (Tools, Memory & Autonomy): Focused on enhancing agent capabilities, demonstrating how Tools and Memory enable agents to learn from experience and perform complex, multi-step actions.
• Day 3 (Multi-Agent Systems - Favorite Day): Explored the powerful concept of multiple agents collaborating as a team (e.g., planner, researcher, coder), opening up many real-world application ideas.
• Day 4 (Architectures & Evaluation): Delved into the engineering aspects, covering the ReAct architecture, tool-using agents, planning loops, and essential evaluation pipelines.
• Day 5 (Capstone Project): The author built a simple Study Planner Agent that prioritizes tasks, generates personalized plans, and tracks progress, significantly boosting confidence in practical application.
💡 Core Realizations:
The main conceptual impact was realizing that Agents \neq Chatbots. The author concluded that Multi-step reasoning, the combination of Memory + Tools, and Multi-agent collaboration are the foundations of true autonomy and the future of AI.
🚀 Future Plans:
Inspired by the course, the author is planning to build more complex agent systems, specifically a multi-agent coding assistant, a travel planning agent, and a learning assistant for students.
