Week 2 — Agentic Systems

Prerequisite: Week 1

Week 2 moves from using agentic tools to building agentic systems of your own — from a first REACT loop to a monitored, guard-railed workflow.

Objectives

By the end of the week you should be able to:

• Explain the anatomy of an agentic system and build a REACT loop.
• Build a simple harness around an agent.
• Build good, reliable, reusable skills.
• Build an agentic workflow system with human-in-the-loop control, observability, guardrails, cost awareness, and memory.

The week at a glance

• Days 1–2: intro to agentic systems — building a REACT loop and a simple harness.
• Day 3: building good skills.
• Days 4–5: building an agentic workflow system — human in the loop, monitoring and observability, guardrails, costs, autonomous and semi-autonomous operation, and memory.

How this feeds your project

This is where your team can build the automation at the heart of its project: a workflow that does real work, safely, with the right human oversight.
