This course provides an in-depth, practical guide to designing, configuring, and managing Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) using CrewAI. Participants will explore how to create dynamic, collaborative agent teams capable of solving complex, distributed problems. The course emphasizes key design patterns, architecture best practices, inter-agent communication, delegation, and real-world applications using Large Language Models (LLMs).

Course Agenda:
