AI Agent Developer

Korshub take

Agentic AI is quickly becoming one of the most in-demand skills in software development, and this beginner-friendly specialization from Vanderbilt University gives you a structured path into it. Over 46,700 learners have already enrolled, drawn by hands-on work with tool calling, the OpenAI API, and the design patterns that turn a simple chatbot into an autonomous agent.

Who it's for

Developers and technically curious professionals who already understand basic programming and want to move beyond "prompt and hope" into building agents that plan, call tools, and complete multi-step tasks reliably.

Key takeaways

• Designing agentic workflows and prompt patterns that hold up in production
• Working directly with the OpenAI API and tool-calling interfaces
• Documenting agent behavior so it stays maintainable by a team

Because it starts at the beginner level, no prior AI experience is required — just a willingness to build.
