Übungsprojekt
Learners will complete three major projects that build on each other, providing a comprehensive portfolio. First, you'll build a hotel information agent to handle guest inquiries, applying foundational skills in prompt engineering and service integration. Next, you will develop a specialized medical information agent that uses programmatic development and advanced workflows to handle a sensitive, regulated domain. Finally, you'll create a sophisticated multi-agent system where specialized agents collaborate to solve a complex business problem, demonstrating your ability to design and deploy scalable, enterprise-ready AI solutions. These projects provide concrete, real-world work samples to showcase your skills to potential employers.
