AI AGENTS IN FINANCE

COURSE - SYLLABUS

8‑Week Online Course (2h/week)​

Build the skills to understand, design, evaluate, and deploy AI agents tailored to financial workflows.

This hands-on program gives you the foundation, tools, and practical experience to master agentic systems.

We start from the fundamentals and guide you to an intermediate-advanced level, equipping you to build full end‑to‑end agentic systems for real finance applications.

Who is this course for?

This course is designed for finance professionals who want to leverage AI agents in their workflows – without needing to become expert developers.

It’s ideal if you are:

financial analyst, trader, portfolio manager, or researcher looking to automate analysis and decision‑support workflows with AI.

finance leader or product owner who wants to understand how agentic systems can transform processes and create new opportunities.

consultant or innovation manager exploring how to integrate AI agents into client offerings.

Data scientistsML engineers, and software developers interested in building advanced AI agents.

Prerequisites

To get the most out of the course, you should:

Have a basic understanding of financial data and workflows:

  • No AI expertise required.
  • No finance domain expertise required; it’s built in.

Be comfortable with basic computer skills and willing to use Python notebooks with starter code we provide. (No advanced coding skills necessary; we guide you through everything.)

Have used tools like ChatGPT or another AI‑powered assistant at least once so you’re familiar with the concept of prompts and responses.

If you’ve never built anything with AI before – that’s okay. Week 1 will bring everyone to the same level before we dive deeper.

What you’ll learn

By the end of the course, you will be able to:

AI Agents Foundations

Understand when and why to use AI agents over traditional single‑prompt or RAG‑only solutions.

Design Patterns

Be familiar with the different design patterns in agentic systems and get hands‑on to master the underlying concepts.

Reasoning Paradigms

Build AI agents using reasoning paradigms like ReAct, Reflection through hands-on labs and get introduced to more advanced approaches such as ToT, LATS.

Architectural Styles

Learn the different architectural styles in multi-agent collaboration systems (e.g. Orchestrator‑Worker, Hierarchical, Peer‑to‑Peer) and build them.

Frameworks

Work with leading frameworks (LangGraph, LlamaIndex, OpenAI Agents SDK, Google ADK, CrewAI, AutoGen, SmolAgents) and understand how to choose the right one for your needs.

Guardrails and Evaluation

Instrument and evaluate agents with tracing, observability, and evaluation techniques.

Multi-Agent End-to-end System

Build a full end‑to‑end multi-agent system for financial research or analysis.

Your Capstone Project

Deliver a full end‑to‑end finance agent as your capstone project.
