Google and Kaggle Are Bringing Back Their AI Agents Course – Here’s What’s New

Google and Kaggle are bringing back their free AI Agents Intensive Course, and honestly, the timing couldn’t be better. If you missed the first run last November—which drew over 1.5 million learners—you get another shot starting June 15 through 19, 2026. Registration opens today.

The original course was a hit, but this time they’ve updated the content, added new speakers, and included a hands-on capstone project. All of it remains free, which is refreshing in an era where every other AI workshop costs a small fortune.

The big theme this year is “vibe coding.” That’s Google’s term for using natural language as the primary way to build AI agents. Instead of wrestling with boilerplate code, you describe what you want, and the system translates it into working agents. It’s not just a gimmick—this approach has been gaining traction because it lowers the barrier for people who understand logic but aren’t professional coders.

Each day of the course blends conceptual deep dives with practical examples. You start with foundational concepts and work up to production-ready systems. By the end, you’re expected to design, build, and deploy robust agent systems. The capstone project is where you actually turn your own idea into something real, which is more satisfying than just following along with pre-baked demos.

One thing I appreciate: they’re focusing on how to connect tools and APIs to create genuinely useful agents. Too many courses stop at theory or toy examples. This one seems aimed at giving you skills you can apply immediately.

If you’re interested, you can register on the Kaggle website. Spots are limited, so don’t wait until the week before.
