What you'll learn

  • Map a process and identify what should and should not be automated.
  • Design the end-to-end architecture: triggers, system of record, integrations, orchestration and state.
  • Design tool schemas, planning loops and state management for multi-step tasks.
  • Add guardrails, retries, fallbacks and human oversight.
  • Monitor reliability and cost once the flow is in production, with continuous evaluation.
  • Roll the flow out in phases and measure time saved against a baseline.
  • Apply the IntellCore AI Act Method™: classify the risk of an AI use case in your field and document it under the AI Act 2026.

Program curriculum

01 — Process mapping

  • What AI is and how it reached process automation
  • Mapping the as-is process
  • Decision points: rules, judgement and data
  • Exception paths
  • Limits of automation: what to automate and what not

02 — End-to-end automation architecture

  • Triggers, events and the system of record
  • Integrations: APIs, files, queues and RPA
  • Orchestrators and durable state
  • The flow without an agent first: extraction, validation and bounded models

03 — Agentic systems inside the process

  • Tool calling and tool schemas
  • Plan-and-execute loops
  • Memory and state in multi-step tasks
  • Identity, permissions and protocols: the agent inside the process

04 — Reliability engineering

  • Input, action and output guardrails
  • Retries, idempotency and fallbacks
  • Human checkpoints
  • Failure modes and escalation paths

05 — Operations: observability, cost and evaluation

  • Observability: traces, metrics and logs
  • Cost control
  • Continuous evaluation
  • Incidents, changes and continuous improvement

06 — Go-live and final project

  • Gradual rollout: shadow, canary and stop
  • Measuring value: time saved and quality
  • Governance and compliance of automation
  • Final project: the flow in production

07 — IntellCore AI Act Method™ applied to your field

  • The EU AI Act 2026: risk levels, prohibited practices and obligations
  • Transparency, human oversight and documentation in your professional field
  • Classifying and auditing a real AI use case step by step
  • Your compliance file with the IntellCore AI Act Method™: from system records to the review plan

Practical application

  • · Final project: a working automated flow with guardrails and human checkpoints, with its go-live file, time saved measured against the baseline and a live stop-switch test in the defence.
