Google and Kaggle are bringing back their wildly popular AI Agents Intensive Course — now with a "Vibe Coding" focus — after the first iteration reached over 1.5 million learners worldwide. The course is free, runs for five days from June 15–19, 2026, and promises to turn participants from curious observers into builders of production-ready AI agents.
What Is Vibe Coding?¶
The term "Vibe Coding" captures a paradigm shift: instead of writing detailed instructions in a programming language, you describe what you want in natural language — and the AI handles the implementation. The vibe, the intent, the high-level direction becomes the primary programming interface.
This isn't about replacing coders. It's about raising the abstraction layer so high that anyone can build software, and experienced developers can build at 10× velocity.
What You'll Learn¶
Over five days, the course takes participants from foundational concepts to production-ready systems:
| Day | Topic |
|---|---|
| Day 1 | Foundations of AI Agents — what they are, how they differ from chatbots, the agent loop (perceive → think → act) |
| Day 2 | Tool Use and API Integration — giving agents the ability to call external services, query databases, and manipulate files |
| Day 3 | Memory and Context Management — how to build agents that remember past interactions and maintain coherent state |
| Day 4 | Multi-Agent Systems — orchestrating multiple specialised agents to solve complex problems collaboratively |
| Day 5 | Capstone Project — build and deploy a production-ready AI agent from scratch |
Each day combines conceptual deep dives with hands-on coding examples. Participants code along in Kaggle notebooks, with Google Colab integration for GPU access.
What's New in This Edition¶
The June 2026 edition isn't just a re-run. Google and Kaggle have refreshed the content significantly:
- Updated curriculum reflecting the rapid advances in agent frameworks over the past year
- New guest speakers from Google DeepMind, Anthropic, and leading open-source agent projects
- Enhanced capstone project that participants can showcase in their portfolios
- Expanded Vibe Coding focus — new techniques for expressing intent in natural language and letting AI handle the implementation details
Who Should Attend¶
The course is designed for a broad audience:
- Software developers who want to build AI-powered features
- Data scientists looking to automate analysis pipelines
- Product managers who want to understand what's possible with agents
- Students and career-changers interested in AI
- Anyone curious about the cutting edge of human-AI interaction
No prior AI or machine learning experience is required, though basic programming familiarity helps.
Why Free?¶
Google's investment in free AI education serves multiple goals. It builds the ecosystem of developers who build on Google Cloud and use Google's AI tools (Gemini, Vertex AI, Kaggle Models). It democratises access to AI skills. And it creates a talent pipeline for the AI-driven economy.
The 1.5 million learners from the first cohort represent a significant expansion of the global AI-literate workforce — and Google is betting that many of them will build the next generation of AI applications on Google's platform.
How to Register¶
Registration is open now on Kaggle. Spots are limited and the previous edition filled quickly. The course runs live June 15–19, 2026, with recordings available afterward for registered participants.
Bottom Line¶
The AI Agents Intensive Course is one of the most accessible on-ramps to building with AI agents. For anyone who has been meaning to learn how to build AI agents — or who wants to see what the "Vibe Coding" future looks like — this is a low-risk, high-reward investment of five days.
