Frequently asked questions
In this course, a GenAI agent is a connected AI system that gathers information, reasons over it, generates responses, uses stored context, and improves through feedback. The emphasis is on designing and implementing a basic agent architecture that you can build, test, and refine in code.
You would use a GenAI agent when a task involves linked steps such as collecting information, analyzing it, generating an output, and improving based on later input. In this course, the focus is on situations where a structured system is more useful than an isolated AI interaction.
A GenAI agent connects earlier design decisions with later testing and improvement, turning an AI idea into a system you can actually run and refine. The course treats agent development as a repeatable workflow that includes architecture, implementation, retrieval, response generation, and evaluation.
