Overview
Simple, agentic or multi-agent? This free course explains how they differ.
AI Agent Fundamentals is a free Databricks course of four short videos, about 90 minutes in all, with a quiz that earns a badge. It covers an agent’s parts, how simple, agentic and multi-agent systems differ, enterprise use, industries and Agent Bricks. It is a badge for fundamentals, not a proctored certification, and Databricks lists no passing score, question count or expiry.

An agent is more than a chat window. You learn its components, such as a model, instructions, tools and memory, and how simple, agentic and multi-agent systems differ in what they can handle.
- Model, instructions, tools and memory
- Simple systems, agentic systems and multi-agent systems
- The loop an agent runs
- Reading a diagram of an agent
You build A labeled diagram of an agent for a support desk, with each part named.
The language model is the engine of an agent, and how it behaves in a company matters. You see how models work in an enterprise setting and how they connect to the data and tools an agent relies on.
- What the model contributes to an agent
- Connecting models to company data
- Why enterprise settings add constraints
- Where the model stops and the agent begins
You build A note tracing one agent answer back to the model, data and tool that produced it.
Seeing agents at work makes the idea concrete. You look at real applications across several major industries, and learn to recognize the pattern of a task that an agent handles well.
- Agents in finance and insurance
- Agents in retail and supply chains
- Agents in health and the public sector
- The traits of a task suited to an agent
You build A table of three industry examples with the task, tools and risk of each.
Building an agent takes tools for data, models and deployment. You learn what Databricks provides for these, and what Agent Bricks offers for building and deploying agents without starting from scratch.
- Platform tools that agents draw on
- What Agent Bricks is for
- Building, evaluating and deploying at a high level
- Choosing between a ready-made and a custom agent
You build A map linking each part of an agent to the Databricks tool that supports it.
You pull the ideas together by planning a small agent: its job, its tools, the data it needs and the limits it must respect. The plan shows where you would start and what could go wrong.
- Choosing a task and defining success
- Listing tools and data the agent needs
- Setting limits and checks
- Deciding what to build first
You build A one-page plan for a first agent with its tools, data, limits and first milestone.

Reviews
Real stories from the community.
LUNARTECH Academy has been the most empowering learning experience of my life, giving me a clear, structured path from the absolute basics to building real-world AI systems with confidence.
Your page is fantastic. As a bachelor’s student in Data Science now accepted for a master’s at UConn, your work has been a real source of motivation.
The programme’s clear, bite-sized content and practical projects dramatically improved my speed from fuzzy idea to MVP and my ability to communicate AI value. I followed the system, and it works.
I really appreciate your teaching style and the way you break down complex topics. It has been incredibly helpful.
After years working mainly with R for econometrics, I found your Python machine learning course a refreshing and engaging way to learn Python.
As a Data Science graduate, I want to thank you for the effort you put into making videos to support growing data scientists.
I’ve been following your work since taking your machine learning course, and I’m impressed by your practical approach to applying AI.
