Our take

Aimed at leaders who need to judge AI agent ideas rather than engineer them. In about six hours it covers how agents work, designing reliable ones and separating real value from hype, and you build basic agents with custom GPTs. Caveats: materials and certificate need the paid certificate experience or Coursera Plus (price not captured), and it's unclear whether ChatGPT Plus is needed. For an Irish in-person leadership option, see AI Build from the Irish Management Institute (IMI).
