• Routing rules: which prompt goes to which model and why.
• Fallback chains: what happens when a model fails or refuses.
• Cost-quality tradeoffs: when to spend on the premium model and when not to.
• Multi-agent coordination: a supervisor agent dispatches sub-tasks to specialist agents on different LLMs.
• Output verification: using one model to check another's work.
Course Promise: By Module 18, students will run a single AI agent that uses Claude for reasoning, Perplexity for search, ChatGPT for code, and DeepSeek for math — all coordinated through one workflow.
Pedagogical Approach
• Practical-first: every concept paired with a tool demo.

Foundations — mindset, prompting, agent thinking.
Modules
1. AI Basics & AI Literacy
2. Prompt Engineering Mastery
3. Introduction to AI Agents
Tools Covered
ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, Mistral, DeepSeek
Estimated Duration
12–15 instructional hours (4–5 hrs per module)
Unit Output
Conceptual First AI Agent (No-Code) — designed using the Agent Design Canvas, with defined purpose, inputs, tools, memory, and constraints. Documented in a 1-page Agent Spec Sheet.
Why This Unit Matters
Unit 1 is the foundation everything else stands on. Students who skip it can use AI; students who complete it can architect with it. Three big mindset shifts happen here: (1) AI is not intelligent — it is a prediction engine that needs direction; (2) prompting is not asking — it is designing behavior; (3) agents are not chatbots — they are systems with memory, tools, and a loop. Get these right in Unit 1, and Units 2 through 6 become applied practice instead of confused experimentation.
Unit 1 Output Specification — Conceptual First AI Agent (No-Code)
By the end of Unit 1, every student delivers a 1-page Agent Spec Sheet using the Agent Design Canvas from Module 3. This is conceptual — no coding is required. The agent must be implementable using prompting techniques alone in any of the seven LLMs covered.
Required canvas cells:
• Purpose (one sentence: what does the agent exist to do?)
• User Persona (who uses it?)
• Inputs (what triggers it, in what format?)
• Outputs (what does the user receive?)
• Tools Available (which LLM(s)? Web search? File upload?)
• Memory Strategy (working only? Or simulated episodic via session continuity?)
• Constraints (3 hard guardrails the agent must never violate)
• Success Metric (how do you measure it works?)
Suggested Use Cases: Personal Reading Coach Agent · Course Q&A Agent · Email Triage Agent · Lecture Notes Summarizer · Academic Citation Verifier

Why This Module Matters
By 2026, AI literacy is a baseline employability skill, not a specialization.
This module shifts your mental model: AI is not a search engine, not a magic oracle, not a thinking colleague.
It is a probability engine that needs direction.
3
Learning Objectives
1. Differentiate between a chatbot and an autonomous AI agent.
2. Explain how Large Language Models predict tokens vs. how humans reason.
3. Identify three classes of AI hallucination and recognize them in outputs.
4. Apply the 'Garbage In, Garbage Out' principle to your own prompts.
5. Map seven leading LLMs to their primary strengths.
4
Concept 1 — The Intelligence Trap
AI is not intelligent by default; it is direction-following.
A bright intern with no instructions will guess. A bright intern with clear context will excel.
Treat every prompt as an instruction to a brilliant but context-blind colleague.
5
Concept 2 — The Prediction Engine
Humans reason by causation. LLMs predict by correlation.
Given the prompt 'The capital of France is', the model predicts the most statistically likely next token: 'Paris'.
It does not 'know' Paris. It has seen the pattern 10 million times.
6
Concept 3 — Hallucination Is a Feature
Hallucination is not a bug. It is the same prediction process operating on weak evidence.
Types:
• Factual (invented dates, citations, people)
• Logical (correct facts, wrong inference)
• Confabulated (fluent text, no grounding)
7
Visual Framework — Anatomy of an Agent
CHATBOT (Passive): Input → Single Response → Stop
AGENT (Active): Goal → Plan → Act → Observe → Re-plan → Act → ... → Goal Met
The defining shift: agents loop and use tools.
8
The Seven LLMs You Will Use
1. ChatGPT (OpenAI) — broad reasoning, plugins, code
2. Claude (Anthropic) — long context, careful reasoning, writing
3. Gemini (Google) — multimodal, Workspace integration
4. Copilot (Microsoft) — Office 365 embedded, enterprise
5. Perplexity — cited live web search
6. Mistral — open weights, EU sovereignty, speed
7. DeepSeek — strong reasoning at low cost
9
Tool Demo — Same Prompt, Two Models
Prompt: 'Summarize the impact of GST on Indian small businesses in 4 bullet points for a B-school class.'
Observe:
• Tone differences
• Depth of reasoning
• Citation behavior
• Hallucination risk
10
Garbage In, Garbage Out (GIGO)
Vague Prompt: 'Tell me about AI'
Result: Generic Wikipedia-style essay.

Specific Prompt: 'Explain to a 12-year-old what an AI agent is, using a school project example, in under 80 words.'
Result: Tailored, useful, classroom-ready.
11
Case Study — A Marketing Manager's Day
Without AI literacy: 6 hours drafting, 1 hour editing.
With chatbot use: 3 hours drafting, 2 hours editing AI mistakes.
With agent thinking: 30 min briefing the agent, 1 hour reviewing structured drafts. Net: 4.5 hours saved.
12
What You Should Never Trust AI With (Yet)
• Final medical diagnosis
• Legal contract execution without review
• Citations without verification
• Confidential client data on free tiers
• Decisions affecting people without human-in-the-loop
13
Summary
1. AI is direction-following, not intelligent.
2. LLMs predict tokens; they do not reason like humans.
3. Chatbots wait; agents loop, plan, and act.
4. GIGO is the law: clarity in → quality out.
5. Seven LLMs cover ~95% of professional use cases.
