What you'll learn

Agents vs Workflows

Understand what makes a system agentic

Types of Agentic Systems

Single agent systems, router based systems, orchestrator systems, and "octopus" systems.

Autonomous vs Human in the Loop

How autonomous agents differ from human in the loop systems and when to use either.

Why this topic matters

Agentic systems represent a shift from being a task-executor to a system-orchestrator. Rather than just using AI to generate text, you must learn to direct autonomous agents that plan and execute entire projects. By mastering agentic orchestration, you become a force multiplier within an organization. You shift your focus from "doing the work" to "directing the system".
