When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I purchase the Certificate?

When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

H2O.ai Agents : From Theory to Practice is a comprehensive course that bridges theoretical understanding with practical implementation, guiding learners through the complete lifecycle of AI agents.

You will start with core concepts by understanding the fundamental architecture of AI agents, how they combine large language models (LLMs), tools, and memory to create autonomous workflows. Discover what sets h2oGPTe apart as we showcase its record-breaking performance on the GAIA benchmark, outperforming Google by 15% in reasoning, tool use, and multimodal capabilities. The course transitions from theory to application through hands-on demonstrations across diverse industries. Throughout the course, you’ll gain hands-on exposure to: • The foundational architecture of AI agents within h2oGPTe • How generative and predictive AI combine to drive decision-making • Key benchmarks like GAIA that demonstrate agent performance • Deployment caveats, safety guardrails, and real-world considerations By the end, you’ll not only understand how AI agents work, but also how to implement and scale them for meaningful impact. Whether you’re curious about the future of AI or ready to build with it, this course will prepare you to move from theory to practice.
