Become an AI agent builder: the course track
The four courses that take you from "what is an agent" to running your own agents safely, in order.
This track teaches AI agents the way a good cloud course teaches the cloud: the concepts transfer to any platform, and you practise them hands-on in PGB Agents. Take the courses in this order.
- AI Agents Fundamentals. What an agent is, how models, prompts, tools, memory and the agent loop work, when to use an agent, and the risks and controls that matter. No code.
- Build Your First Agents on PGB Agents. Five labs: a research agent, a daily report on a schedule, a webhook-triggered agent, an email-triage agent with approvals, and chat and tasks. Plus writing instructions and adapting a Marketplace agent.
- Running Agents Safely and Reliably. Test, replay, versions and rollback, guardrails, secrets, approvals on web and phone, budgets and pause-and-ask, run controls, monitoring, privacy and when to stop.
- Agents for Business Teams. Connect agents to PGB Business with narrow keys, understand the two approval gates, assign ownership and roll out safely.
A shorter companion, PGB Agents 101, walks through the product screens from sign-in to your first scheduled agent.
Each course ends with a quiz and a certificate when you pass. Learn does not group courses into a formal path, so use this order as your guide.
Guides to keep handy

What a PGB Agent is and what it can do
An agent is a saved job with instructions, a list of allowed tools, a budget and a record of every step it takes.
Create an agent from scratch or from the Marketplace
Make a blank agent in two clicks, or add a ready-made one from PGB Marketplace and review it before it runs.
Write good instructions for an agent
How to word the Instructions box so an agent does the right job, stays inside its limits and tells you when it is unsure.
Choose tools and understand which need approval
The list of tools an agent can use, what each does, and which ones always pause for your approval.
Start agents manually, on a schedule or from a webhook
Run an agent by hand, set it to repeat with the schedule builder, or give it a private web address that starts a run.
Set budgets and know when a run will stop
Put a dollar limit on each run and each month, and learn the other limits that stop an agent from running away.
