The frontier of applied AI for non-engineers: AI agents, tool use, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Six modules take you from understanding what an agent is to shipping a real working agent in your own work — plus model selection, evaluation, and responsible governance. Free.

Prompting is table stakes now. The real leverage — and the next two years of hiring — is in agents: AI that uses tools and does multi-step work. This track takes you there, no code required.
Most courses stop at chatting with AI. You go further — to agents that take a goal, decide the next step, and act on it. The perceive → reason → act → observe loop, in your own hands.
The thing almost no one teaches non-engineers: how to give AI hands. Connect models to real tools through the Model Context Protocol so they can search, write, and do — not just answer.
Free to start, no credit card — with Sage Learning AI support as you practice.

Every module ends with something you built and can use at work — not a quiz score. By the end you’ll have shipped a working agent, with the evals and guardrails to trust it.
By the end: a working agent you built, plus the evals and governance to deploy it responsibly.
