I want to get an expert advice around this course. I find code in the lab a bit difficult/different than python code i was used to. May I ask what is the difference? And how i can bridge that gap in knowledge and feel confident to write code for my own agents.
Hello, @pratibhab,
We are around! Could you give us a bit more detail? I see this is tagged for Module 2 - were the two ungraded labs difficult to follow? If you can, send over a few screenshots of the parts giving you trouble so we can take a look together.
Cheers,
Raymond
Hi there,
This is completely normal. When you’re exposed to a new coding style or framework, it takes some time to get used to it—even if it’s still Python.
With a bit of practice, you’ll start recognizing patterns and understanding the structure. As you get more familiar with the concepts and terminology, it will feel much more natural, and you’ll gain confidence in building your own agents.
Thanks, yes nothing specific. Just general discomfort that I am capable of writing the code on my own. but thanks, you are right, need to practice more. weirdly, on internet everybody is already an expert and fluent in it. do we really require writing the code? I see many posts mentioning, just spin up this agent etc, but someone must be writing it after all.
This course teaches you how to use AI agent tools. It does not tell you how to create those tools.
Hey @pratibhab, I think that if completing the assignments requires Python Level 1, understanding every bit of the assignment code takes somewhere between Level 1-2, then perhaps building a Minimum Viable Product needs Level 3. Good news is we have chatbots like the Google AI Mode or Gemini which can peer code with us for free (or other services for a fee). Yes - there are many experts around and there are also rising stars (like you) 
You are definitely not late, and, in fact, when we see those experts’ works, I think we can put it this way: isn’t it good that they are experimenting ideas which saves our time doing them all on our own? These courses, the Google AI model, and the work of experts – together, they provide the perfect sources of experience to build upon!
Cheers,

Thank you so much to everyone here. I completed the course which was being dragged by me for a while now. Your perspective and support really helped me reach the finish line.
Big thanks to all!!
Hey,
What you’re experiencing is completely normal. The lab code feels different because it uses ready-made tools, so instead of writing everything step by step, you’re mostly connecting different parts. It can feel confusing at first since the logic isn’t always visible, but that doesn’t mean your Python is weak. It is simply a new way of working.
To get comfortable, try focusing on the input, the output, and the overall flow. You can also rewrite the code in your own simple way to understand it better. With a bit of practice, it will start to feel much clearer and more natural.
I hopw this will helps
