What will you learn?
Write a toy agentic code editor in Python, similar to Claude Code or Cursor's Agent Mode. Understand how agents work from scratch by using the Google Gemini API to create an LLM-powered code agent. You'll use function calling and feedback loops to build an agent that can find and fix bugs in a real project!

Really fun course, really well built out and helpful. I spent about 0.05 USD on credits on this course... but I had to pre-load 10 USD first 😅 But great course in any way!

A very cool look into what all the actual design concepts behind the most popular coding tools of the day. Lots of freedom to structure your code base (or not) which is a nice way to learn!

I would recommend saving this course for much later in the back end course. There is a lot of new code and functions that I personally felt like I wasn't ready for as a newbie.

This course was not easy, but it was certainly useful.

It's a very interesting course. It gave me a better understanding of ai agents. Also, at least for me, it was a much harder course than the previous ones, and I feel it offered quite a bit of more knowledge than I initially expected. Though, do note, I am not very bright...

This is good introduction as a course. However, if you're going to do this on the free-tier for Gemini, then you will run into blocks where you have used up your tokens for the day.
