Google and Kaggle are bringing back their joint 5-Day AI Agents Intensive Course, scheduled for June 15 to 19, 2026[reference:92][reference:93]. Registration is now open, and the course is free to all registrants[reference:94].
What the Course Offers
The five-day online course dives deep into building powerful AI agents, from foundational concepts to production-ready systems[reference:95]. It is developed by Google researchers and engineers who are actually shipping this stuff[reference:96]. The format remains solid: daily sessions, live instruction, and hands-on projects[reference:97].
This iteration includes updated content, new speakers, and a hands-on capstone project[reference:98]. A refreshed run, themed around "vibe coding," went out in June 2026 for those who prefer the cohort experience[reference:99].
Scale and Impact
The first run of the course, launched in November 2025, reached over 1.5 million learners[reference:100]. By popular demand, Google and Kaggle brought it back[reference:101]. The course is built for accessibility: no cost, online format, and content designed for both beginners and experienced practitioners[reference:102].
Why It Matters
Agentic AI is moving from research to production[reference:103]. The shift from single-model prompting to multi-agent systems requires new skills: swarm design, tool integration, memory architecture, and security boundaries[reference:104]. This course aims to democratize those skills[reference:105].
For small business owners, the course offers an opportunity to enhance AI capabilities without significant investment[reference:106]. For developers, it provides a structured path into agentic systems[reference:107].
Practical Details
The course runs June 15-19, 2026[reference:108]. Registration is open through the Kaggle platform[reference:109]. The material is the draw: built by the researchers and engineers actually shipping this stuff[reference:110]. Whether you attend live or work through the material later, the content is freely available[reference:111].
