Engineer context and memory for AI agents: context anatomy, memory layers, retrieval, compaction, multi-agent systems and cost optimization. For 2026.
The course’s skills. The same ones appear on your Certificate of Completion, so you can show what you covered.
An advanced program for AI/ML engineers and software engineers building agents and LLM applications who want to move beyond prompting toward the systematic engineering of context and memory. You learn to treat the context window as a finite resource that must be budgeted and kept clean, to decompose the anatomy of context (system prompt, instructions, examples, conversational history, tool results, retrieved data) and to design memory layers for agents: working/short-term, semantic, episodic and procedural. Covers memory managers and persistence (extraction, consolidation, LangMem-style memory store patterns), retrieval strategies for context (vector vs graph vs relational and the hybrid approach), compaction and window management (summarization, pruning, sliding window, context offloading), context engineering for multi-step agents and multi-agent systems, plus reliability evaluation, cost and token economics, prompt caching and optimization. Everything anchored in official Anthropic, OpenAI and LangChain (LangMem and LangGraph) documentation and the DeepLearning.AI course, with 2026 models (Claude Opus 5.5, GPT-6.1 Sol, Gemini 4 Argon) and a capstone project: an end-to-end agent with persistent memory, evaluated for reliability. The technical content is informational and versions the APIs and models, which may change.
For developers, engineers and technical professionals who build or integrate AI solutions. It belongs to AI Engineering, on the IT track.
Advanced level: assumes hands-on experience with AI in the course’s field.

The Limits of Prompting and Context as a New Discipline in 2026
Prompting got you this far, but it will not take you further.
Written lessons, with examples and exercises. Your progress is saved automatically, so you can pick up where you left off.
Select a passage and it explains it, gives you an example or tells you why it matters. You can type or talk to it, in English.
Every lesson has its own quiz, with explanations for the answers: 356 questions across the course. The professor also summarizes the lesson and prepares review flashcards.
Once you complete the lessons and reach the minimum quiz score, you issue it from your account, with a unique number, publicly verifiable.
The AI Professor is included in your subscription, per-course access included, with a monthly fair-use limit. It is an AI system, not a human teacher, and its answers may contain errors; details in the Terms. See how the AI Professor works.
