How an AI Agent Works: The Loop Explained Step by Step
An AI agent doesn't respond in one shot: it works in a loop that repeats until the task is done. Here's how that loop works, jargon-free and step by step.

Why this isn't just another course
AI already writes the code. The judgment to direct it is on you.
AI writes more and more code, but it needs a guide with judgment to tell it what to do and how. If you want to ship real projects, writing a prompt and praying isn't enough.
Here you don't watch, you do
No watching a video and nodding along. You try, you get it wrong, and you fix it on the fly. You move the pieces of each concept until you truly get it.
Five minutes, anywhere
Six minutes into a video and you're already on your phone, and 9 out of 10 people never finish online courses. We get it, but the excuses are over. Here are exercises you can do at the office, on the couch, or in the bathroom. Your call.
The hard part is judgment
Looking up a detail or the syntax has never been easier: it's one prompt away. The hard part is understanding the concepts and making good decisions. That's what we train.
No hype
AI isn't magic: it doesn't always get it right, and it isn't good for everything. We won't sell you the dream. We teach you to direct it — and to know when to leave it out. That's what makes you valuable.

MCP vs API: differences and when to use each one
MCP doesn't replace your REST API: it wraps it so an agent can discover its tools on its own. Comparison and when to use MCP, API, RAG, or function calling.
What Is RAG in AI: A Simple Definition and What It's For
RAG means searching your documents and handing them to the model before it answers. What it is, what problem it solves, how it works, and when it isn't worth the trouble.
