Move beyond simple AI assistants and build an agent that can access data, use tools, follow defined workflows, and interact with users. In this hands-on course, software developer and instructor Eve Porcello shows you how to build an AI agent with eve, using a neighborhood gear-sharing application as the project. Set up your agent and model, define its identity and behavior with instructions, connect it to application data, and create tools that let it retrieve information. Explore how skills guide multi-step workflows and add human-in-the-loop controls. Then connect your agent to a Next.js web experience and deploy it to Vercel. Along the way, see how these components fit together to turn an agent from a terminal prototype into an application users can interact with.
