After this course you'll understand:

  • Standing up the lab – Choosing Granite 4 Tiny, serving it through Ollama, launching Bionic with Docker Compose, and validating the model hookup.
  • Tool-call fundamentals – How assistants request deterministic tools, how the UI mediates the workflow, and how to debug payloads end-to-end.
  • Enterprise integrations – Connecting MCP services such as Postgres, importing OpenAPI specs, and attaching those capabilities to assistants safely.
  • Agent runtime capabilities – Using sandboxes, memory, cron jobs, skills, OpenAPI toolsets, and documents/attachments.
  • Operations on Kubernetes – Installing K3s, contrasting Compose vs. cluster deployments, and promoting the stack via the Bionic CLI.
  • Prompt engineering discipline – Layering system/developer/user prompts while iterating through the /api/chat endpoint.
