Course Summary

Agentic AI System Design for PMs. This course helps product managers and business leaders move beyond simple tools to design and build agentic AI systems for organizations. In an era where generative AI is redefining business and software, this program bridges the gap between hype and practical solutions to solve the core challenge organizations face: identifying use cases with tangible ROI. Unlike purely technical courses, the emphasis is on the “what” and “why,” and addresses the critical needs of non-technical leaders by prioritizing use case identification, business value assessment, and strategic deployment considerations. Delivered at institutions such as Stanford and UCLA, the course content is divided into two main sections: working with no-code tools and low-code approaches to designing complex agents, and teaches how to build systems from the ground up rather than teaching specific frameworks. Participants in this program will learn how to manage real-world constraints such as scalability, guardrails, multi-agent workflows, and domain-specific adaptation, and will ultimately be able to identify, build, and deploy productive AI applications amidst the hype.
