Agentic AI Foundations

Description

Duration: 1 day

This course covers the foundational concepts and design principles behind Agentic AI systems built on AWS. Students will examine how Agentic AI differs from traditional conversational AI and learn how tools such as Amazon Q, Kiro, Amazon Bedrock Agents, and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore support the development of autonomous, goal-oriented applications. The course connects core theory to practical AWS service options for building agentic solutions.
