I am currently a 2nd-semester AI student looking to utilize my upcoming summer break to specialize in Agentic AI and begin freelancing. I have access to a Coursera/HEC subscription starting May 1st, but I am looking for a realistic, high-impact learning path.
My primary goal is to move from theory to building client-ready autonomous agents. Given a limited timeframe, what are the core frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, CrewAI) I should prioritize, and what strategies would you recommend for securing a first client without a long-standing professional history?
Hi @Muhammad_Ibrahim9 !

You can find helpful roadmap discussions by searching for “roadmap” in the forum—there are posts tailored to different goals and cases. Also, in the Applications section, there’s a small tool developed by DeepLearning.AI to help you choose a roadmap. Just search the forum and you should find both easily.
Thank you for your advice. I’ll check.
You’re very welcome! Happy to help. Feel free to reach out if you hit any more roadblocks. Happy learning!
