On October 26, Kyiv School of Economics launched the second cohort of KSE Agentic AI School, a nine-week programme that prepares specialists to design and develop autonomous AI systems. A total of 35 participants joined the programme following a competitive selection process.
Building on the first cohort, KSE continues to develop the programme and expand its practical component. This year, the school introduced a dedicated business track in collaboration with KSE Business School, complementing technical training with entrepreneurship, product development, and fundraising skills.
Nine Weeks of Developing AI Solutions
KSE Agentic AI School teaches participants not only how to use artificial intelligence tools but also how to independently design and build agentic systems that address real-world challenges.
Over nine weeks, participants will study AI agent architectures, work with large language models, develop their own tools, and test them through practical use cases.
The programme includes three hands-on development and hypothesis-testing cycles, each culminating in a tangible technical outcome. At the end of the programme, teams will present their projects at Demo Day to industry experts, partners, and business representatives.
A New Business Track: From Technology to Market-Ready Products
For the second cohort, KSE Agentic AI School has introduced a dedicated business track in collaboration with KSE Business School, bringing entrepreneurial and technical expertise together within one programme.
Business track participants will work alongside technical teams to develop their own AI product ideas. They will identify user needs, shape product strategies, test hypotheses, and work towards building minimum viable products (MVPs).
The curriculum will also cover entrepreneurial thinking, design thinking, startup pitching, and fundraising.
This approach allows participants to experience the key stages of building a technology product, from identifying a problem and developing a technical solution to pitching their ideas and assessing market potential.
From the First Cohort to KSE’s Growing AI Ecosystem
The first cohort of KSE Agentic AI School concluded with team projects that demonstrated potential for further development and commercialisation. Following the programme, KSE began developing the AI Agentic Center, an initiative designed to bring together education, technical expertise, and practical solutions to industry challenges.
For participants in the second cohort, a key motivation was the opportunity to apply their foundational knowledge in practice.
During the opening event, one student explained that her university studies primarily focus on mathematical algorithms and the development of machine learning models. At Agentic AI School, however, she has the opportunity to learn how to apply existing technologies to build agentic systems that solve real-world problems.
The second cohort builds on this approach by combining engineering expertise with product thinking. KSE prepares specialists who can not only develop AI systems but also identify opportunities for their application, evaluate the value of their solutions, and turn them into viable technology products.
