    About this course

    Is it worth it to build an AI agent today?

    In early 2026 it exploded on GitHub, one of the fastest-growing open-source projects, and the center of the first major AI-agent security crisis. It’s still growing.
    This course won’t tell you to build it. It gives you what you need to decide, whether you need one and if so do you want to build one - explained simply, ending with a clear decision framework.
