Intended audience
Developers, software architects, AI engineers, researchers, R&D managers and any professional involved in complex projects in Python, LLM or distributed systems.
Prerequisites
Python language skills. Good knowledge of LLMs. Basic knowledge of LangChain. Good knowledge of software and agent-oriented architecture.
Course schedule
1 Foundations of intelligent agents and the role of LLMs
- Definition: agent, autonomy, environment, perception, action, objectives.
- Symbolic agent vs. LLM-powered. Difference between agents, chains and co-pilots.
- Difference between agents, chains and co-pilots.
- Overview of agent architectures (BDI, planners, prompt-based).
- Language model as a planning and reasoning engine.
- Limitations: hallucinations, coordination, computational cost.
2 LangChain agents and tool-based reasoning
- Architecture of a LangChain agent.
- Components: tools, memory, output parser, AgentExecutor.
- Examples of tools: calculation, search, files, APIs.
- Management of reasoning chains and the environment.
Hands-on work
Creation of a simple agent with tools. Agent that answers questions, uses a search tool, performs a calculation. Management of reasoning chains and environment.
3 Multi-agent theories and frameworks
- Agent types: specialized, hierarchical, competitive, collaborative.
- Different approaches to coordination: by task, by role, by message.
- Communication models: blackboard, publish/subscribe, direct dialog (JSON).
- Some frameworks: LangChain Multi-Agent, CrewAI, AutoGen, ChatDev, AutoGPT.
- Structuring complex workflows: delegation, roles, dependencies
4 Ontologies and semantic reasoning
- Standardizing shared knowledge.
- Integrating business ontologies into a multi-agent system.
- Reasoning from knowledge graphs (RDF, Neo4j).
- Long memory for inter-agent coordination.
Hands-on work
Conception d’un système à 3 agents spécialisés. Exemple : analyste de données, rédacteur de rapport, vérificateur juridique. Coordination par rôle et par objectif. Utilisation de mémoire longue.
5 Planning, supervision and safety
- Implementing chain-of-thought for LLM planning.
- The limits of LLMs: noise, instability, infinite loops.
- Control strategies: scoring, pruning, critical agents.
- Supervision and monitoring of interactions (logging, replay, auditability).
- Governance and security: sandboxing, compliance, critical agent or human-in-the-loop (HITL).

Not enough hands-on practice in my view, despite having gone through a large amount of code. The course is very interesting, although it wasn’t quite what I was expecting. I’ve probably chosen the wrong course. I’ve learnt some things, but this came too soon for me, in the sense that I’ve never actually created agents or configured LLMs. This course should be reserved for people who already have some practical experience and who want to learn more.

I really enjoyed the course, but I thought there was a lot of information to cover in three days; it would need four or five.
