Agentic AI without hype

Name: Agentic AI without hype
Availability: InStock

Decide what to delegate to an agent, test it with real tools and handle an incident before a 30-day pilot. A free practical course.

A free practical course to recognize agents by behavior, define permissions, prototype, test and respond to incidents. A continuous case, real tool-execution demo over synthetic data, VR simulation with an accessible alternative, four badges and a certificate on passing. Approximately two hours at your own pace. Optional live sessions with Ulises.

What You'll Learn

Distinguish an agent from an assistant or an automation by its decision loop, and ask for evidence of that loop.

Justify the simplest architecture that solves the task before choosing a brand.

Write a delegation contract with green, yellow and red permissions and human authorization for external or irreversible actions.

Examine real tools in an executable demo: trace, abstention and a send blocked without approval.

Design a test bank with critical cases and calculate cost per useful task.

Apply an incident protocol (pause, contain, notify, correct, learn) and plan a 30-day pilot with an expand-or-stop criterion.

Who Is This Course For?

Professionals who already use AI to draft or summarize and want to take the next step.
Team leads who must decide which tasks to delegate to an agent.
Executives evaluating vendor "agent" proposals.

Welcome and starting point

1 lesson

1
Welcome: delegation you can defend
Pick a real task you want to delegate and set its limit from the start.
8 min

Judgement and architecture

2 lessons

1
Agent, assistant or automation: ask for evidence
Classify demos by their decision loop and ask for the evidence that proves something is an agent.
12 min
2
Choose architecture before brand
Compare chat, fixed workflow, tool agent and multi-agent, and justify the simplest option that works.
8 min

Delegation and prototype

2 lessons

1
Design the delegation contract
Write the contract: goal, sources, tools, budget, green, yellow and red permissions, and who pauses.
15 min
2
Build a prototype and observe real tools
Test your contract in a chat and run a real demo with a trace, abstention and a blocked send.
16 min

Evaluation and incidents

2 lessons

1
Evaluate outcomes, failures and cost per useful task
Design normal, incomplete, adversarial and critical cases, and calculate cost per useful task.
14 min
2
Incident: stop, contain and recover
The agent sent 200 wrong emails: pause, contain, notify and correct in VR or the accessible scenario.
16 min

Pilot and evidence

1 lesson

1
Present a 30-day agent pilot
Present a 30-day pilot an owner can approve or stop, with metrics and a budget.
15 min

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost?

Nothing. The course, the badges and the certificate are free.

How long does it take?

About two hours (120 estimated minutes), at your own pace. The live session with Ulises is monthly, separate and optional.

Do I build an autonomous agent?

That is not the goal. You write a delegation contract, build a behavioral prototype and observe a demo with real tools and a fixed plan. You learn to delegate with limits before automating.

Do I need to code?

No. The executable demo runs with one button; editing the code is optional.

Which AI tool do I need?

No paid tool. Use the one you already have, a free version, or work with the worked case.

Do I need a VR headset?

No. The incident simulation runs in the browser and has an equivalent accessible alternative; both count the same.

Who issues the certificate?

XFactor Academy, in collaboration with Ulises De la Cruz Consulting. It is verifiable online and can be added to LinkedIn.

Which parts of the course are AI?

Lessons are narrated by an assistant with an AI-generated voice, and the cases and characters are fictional. Ulises De la Cruz hosts the optional live session in person.
