What this course is
Architecture beyond the promptLearn to design AI workflows as graphs of nodes, dependencies, state, verification, and evidence.
Who it is for
Builders moving into multi-step AIUse it when a single prompt is no longer enough and reliability, cost, or coordination starts to matter.
What you will leave with
A production-ready design methodDiagnose weak graphs, choose safe parallelism, define contracts, and build an independently verified capstone.

Topology is a claim about causality
Every arrow must explain what the next node genuinely needs.
Module 01 · Lesson 1.1
Watch the short visual, then read the explanation and examples.
Deterministic explainer
Original Remotion frame from the course's reusable graph explanation system.

Knowledge check
Persistent lesson note
Interactive architecture bench
Build a task graph, declare its dependencies, then inspect depth, critical path, fan-out, and common failure risks. Analysis is deterministic and runs locally.

The score is a diagnostic signal, not a grade. Read the findings beside it to understand what to change.
Select two nodes in order, then create a dependency.
Click nodes to select them. The first selected node becomes the dependency; the second becomes downstream.
Graph Analyzer
80–100: structurally promising · 60–79: review warnings · below 60: incomplete or high-risk. Always read the findings.
Add nodes, connect genuine dependencies, then run the analyzer.
Source before certainty
A searchable corpus of official documentation, primary engineering accounts, foundational computer science, peer-reviewed research, and first-hand talks.

Tutor access required
The Tutor will call OpenAI only through a server-side endpoint after entitlement is verified. The browser never receives the API key. Lessons, labs, sources, Notes, and progress remain open.
