Hugging Face's AI Agents Course is a free, advanced course teaching you to build AI agents using Hugging Face's tools and transformers.js. You learn multi-step reasoning, tool use, and how agents plan and execute tasks. The course is free on the Hugging Face platform. After finishing, you can build agents that use tools, search the web, and run code to accomplish goals. The main limitation: AI agents are still maturing technology. Expect to debug unexpected behaviors; the field moves fast.
Hugging Face's Agent course covers the SmolAgents framework, which is actively maintained and powers thousands of real AI applications (source: Hugging Face blog).
