Google's running its free five-day course on building AI agents again, and it starts June 15. The last one drew 1.5 million learners, which makes this the most popular on-ramp into agents that exists right now. Registration is open today, and you want your spot before Day 1 so you're not scrambling to catch up.
If you've been hearing "agent" in meetings and quietly nodding without knowing what one actually is, this is the version made for you. It assumes you have no coding background.
Day 1 covers agents and what people call "vibe coding" — building software by describing what you want in plain English instead of writing code. You'll use Google's Agents CLI alongside your own coding assistant to put one together. Day 2 moves to tools and interop: connecting your agents to live data sources, and getting them to talk to each other. The whole thing is hands-on, and it walks you up to multi-agent workflows, where a few agents split a job between them instead of one doing everything.
What I like about this format is that it's structured. You go through it in order, five days, building as you go. That beats the usual route of stitching together a dozen random YouTube tutorials that each assume you already know the last ten things.
You've probably tried to learn this on your own and bounced off a tutorial that assumed too much. A free, sequenced course from Google — with 1.5 million people having already run through the first one — removes the excuse. Register this week, block out the five days when they land, and you'll come out the other side able to say exactly what an agent is and show one you built. On a team where everyone's still saying the word without doing it, that's the person who gets noticed.
