Free Google Agent Training: Build & Scale AI Agents This Summer

Summer’s here, and while the caimans are busy sunning themselves on expensive enterprise platforms, the smart capybaras are diving into free training. Google just dropped a no-cost learning path to help you build and scale AI agents—no wallet required.

Whether you’re a developer, IT leader, or just a curious builder, the question is always the same: how do we actually get agents into production? Google’s answer is hands-on, with labs and courses that take you from sketch to fully autonomous agents.

What’s in the Swamp?

Powered by the Gemini Enterprise Agent Ready (GEAR) program, these courses cover everything from agent fundamentals to enterprise deployment. Here’s the lineup:

• Intro to AI Agents: Build a foundational understanding of autonomous agents.
• Agent Fundamentals: Dive into decision models and execution loops.
• Enterprise Agents and Use Cases: Map agents to KPIs and solve bottlenecks.
• Create Your First Gemini Enterprise Application: Earn a skill badge by building with Gemini Enterprise.
• Human-Centered AI: Balance machine speed with human intuition.
• Agentic Strategy: Prototype high-impact projects with zero code.
• Orchestrate Multi-Agent Workflows: Manage multiple agents and unify data.
• Engineer AI Agents with ADK: Build production-grade agents with the Agent Development Kit.
• Add Currency Tools to an Agent Using MCP: Connect LLMs to external systems in 20 minutes.
• Manage Agent Memory and State: Give your agents a memory for personalized responses.
• Create Agent Skills with Google: Infuse domain expertise into custom skills.
• AgentOps: Operationalize AI Agents on Google Cloud: Harden prototypes and scale safely.

Each course is designed to be practical, so you’re not just watching videos—you’re getting your paws dirty with real tools.

Hackathon Time!

Ready to prove your skills? The All Things Agentic Hackathon is live, with $180,000 in prizes. Submissions run from August 3 to August 31, 2026. Register here and show the world what you can build.

Why This Matters

Agents are the next big leap in AI, and getting them into production is the hard part. This training gives you the blueprints and tools to ship agents that actually work. Plus, it’s free—so you can learn without worrying about the cost of a caiman-sized bill.

If you’re already deep in the cloud ecosystem, you might want to check out our reviews of Google Cloud, Cloudflare Workers, or Supabase to see how they stack up for your agent workflows.

Don’t let summer slip by. Join GEAR today and start building your agentic future.
