Opleiding: Agentic AI with LangChain
The course Agentic AI with LangChain from SpiralTrain teaches you how to build intelligent, autonomous AI agents that can reason, plan, and execute complex tasks.Intro Agentic AI
The course Agentic AI with LangChain begins with a comprehensive introduction to agentic AI systems, exploring how they differ from traditional chatbots and what makes an agent truly autonomous. The architecture patterns, core components, and the role of LLMs as reasoning engines are discussed, along with common challenges and real-world use cases.
LangChain Fundamentals
This module provides a thorough foundation in the LangChain framework, covering its architecture, the distinction between chains and agents, and essential components like prompt templates, memory modules, and document loaders.
Building First Agent
Here participants create their first functional AI agent from scratch. The module covers choosing appropriate LLMs, defining clear agent goals, writing effective prompts, integrating tools, managing state, and implementing robust error handling.
Agent Tools and Actions
This part focuses on expanding agent capabilities through tools and actions. Participants learn to create custom tools, integrate APIs, connect to databases, implement search functionality, enable web scraping, and handle tool execution errors properly.
Memory and Context
Memory management is explored in depth, covering different memory types including short-term, long-term, conversation buffers, and vector stores. The module addresses entity memory, knowledge graphs, and techniques for optimizing memory.
Multi-Agent Systems
This module introduces collaborative multi-agent systems using frameworks like LangGraph. Topics include agent collaboration patterns, message passing between agents, task decomposition, workflow orchestration, and evaluating multi-agent performance.
RAG and Knowledge
Retrieval Augmented Generation is covered comprehensively, including document processing, embeddings, vector databases, and semantic search. Participants learn chunking strategies, and methods for evaluating RAG system performance.
Production Deployment
Deployment considerations are addressed with attention to API development, scalability, performance optimization, caching, rate limiting, and security best practices. The module also covers monitoring, observability, cost management, and testing strategies.
