Description
Disclaimer- This course contains the use of artificial intelligence

Unlock the full potential ofVertex AIon Google Cloud Platform (GCP) by learning how to build and deploy intelligent, real-world AI agents using bothpretrained modelsandcustom models. Whether you're a developer, data scientist, or cloud enthusiast, this course will equip you with the practical knowledge and hands-on skills to leverage the powerfulVertex AI Agent Builder ecosystemand integrate it into production-ready applications.

You'll begin by understanding the foundations of theGCP ecosystemand theVertex AI platform, exploring how they fit into the broader world of cloud-based machine learning. We then cover thetheory behind AI agents, including different types of agents and how agent-based thinking can improve automation, decision-making, and user interaction.

From there, you’ll dive deep into building AI agents using Vertex AI tools — working withfoundation models,custom-trained models, and theVertex AI Agent Builder Engine. You’ll explore how to use the Agent Builder in both the Google Cloud Console andGoogle Colab, and learn how to integrate external tools and functions into your agents.

You’ll also build practical agent-based applications usingLangChain and Python, including hands-on demos like building acurrency conversion tool, connecting it with an LLM agent, and deploying it using modern tools.

By the end of this course, you'll be able to:

Navigate the GCP and Vertex AI ecosystems with confidence

Understand the architecture and purpose of AI agents

Use both custom and pretrained models with Vertex AI

Build intelligent agents using theVertex AI Agent Builder engine

Integrate functions and tools viaLangChainAgent

Develop and deploy practical LLM applications using Vertex AI inColab and Python

Whether you're aiming to enhance your cloud AI skills, automate complex workflows, or build cutting-edge AI products, this course gives you the tools and insight to make it happen — with guidance from an experienced AI educator and practitioner.

Who this course is for:
- AI practitioners and students
