- When they shine, and when they don't.
- How building agents fits into the Advanced AI Engineering track
- A hands-on project step you can put in your portfolio
The hands-on project
Describe a task that genuinely needs an agent (open-ended, multi-step) and one that does NOT (better as a simple workflow) — and explain the difference. For the agent one, list its goal, its tools, and 2 guardrails you'd add.
The full brief, voice tutor walkthrough, and feedback are inside the lesson.
