What you'll learn in this Python course
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 free models on OpenRouter (via the OpenAI SDK) 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!

Built a mini Claude Code from scratch and it actually worked — 10/10, would let my code get fixed by a chatbot again.

A great hands-on course! Building an AI coding agent from scratch helped me understand AI agents, function calling, and how to connect different tools into a real project. Very practical and rewarding.

I’ve wanted to learn how to build an AI agent for a long time, so I’m genuinely happy to have finally done it through this course. What I really enjoyed is that it wasn’t just about learning the theory — I got to actually build an AI agent step by step and understand how the different pieces work together. By the end of the course, I felt like I had built something real and professional, which made the experience even more rewarding. Definitely one of the courses I’m happiest to have completed

Working with an Ai first hand was confusing but this lesson made it easy to understand. Was amazing!

The trickiest part for me was to make the correct enough sequence of words so that an agent finally fixes the gosh darn calculator!
