About this Course

Agentic AI is a type of AI that combines Generative AI with tools and actions, allowing us to build \"agents\" to assist us with everyday tools like Gmail, Office365, Google Sheets, Salesforce, etc. These agents can perform tasks on our behalf, such as updating a spreadsheet or sending an email. There are classes that teach these Agentic AI concepts, but they are geared towards programmers. If you aren\'t a programmer, they won\'t teach you how to build agents to help with your daily tasks. This class will teach you how to use ChatGPT and Zapier to build your own agents to help prioritize tasks, keep track of expenses, plan meals and shopping lists, etc. These won\'t be tools that require you to cut and paste the results back into an email; these will be tools that can directly create a draft email and put it into your email account or allow you to snap a picture of a receipt on the go and have it show up in a spreadsheet. These agents can automate and take action for you. By the end of this class, not only will you understand state-of-the-art aspects of Agentic AI, but you will have built your own Travel Expense Agent. Your agent will be able to take a picture of a receipt or a description of an expense and catalog it into a Google Sheet. It will check your expense with another agent for completeness, ensure the expense isn\'t already in the spreadsheet, and even draft an email to your administrator with a simple reimbursement report. This course will transform the way you work.
