One curriculum. Every role runs through it.

From "what's a token?" to a working, evaluated agent.

Foundations

Zero prior knowledge assumed. Tokens, LLMs, prompting, embeddings, vector databases, RAG, and your first agent.

Intermediate

Chunking, retrieval quality, tool use, memory, and your first real agent, ending in a multi-tool capstone.

Advanced

Multi-agent patterns, guardrails, observability, and shipping a traced, evaluated agentic RAG system.
