The AI agent education market in 2026
In short. Learning to build AI agents has become one of the largest subjects in technical education. A single free course drew more than 1.5 million learners, paid agent courses count students in the hundreds of thousands, and Gartner expects agents inside 40% of enterprise apps by the end of 2026. Now that the US government calls AI "Super Intelligence" (SI), agent education is also getting a new vocabulary.
The numbers
| 1.5 million+ | People who signed up for Google and Kaggle's free 5-Day AI Agents Intensive in November 2025, one of the largest technical courses ever run. A second run was held 15–19 June 2026. |
|---|---|
| 231,000+ | Students on Ed Donner's AI Engineer Agentic Track on Udemy (4.7 rating, 34,000+ ratings), as reported by Scrimba in March 2026. |
| 37,000+ | Learners on Vanderbilt's AI Agent Developer programme on Coursera (same source). |
| 40% | Share of enterprise applications Gartner expects to include task-specific AI agents by the end of 2026, up from less than 5% in 2025. |
| $450bn+ | Gartner's best-case figure for agentic AI's share of enterprise application software revenue by 2035, about 30% of the total. |
Who is buying agent education
- Developers moving from chat apps to agents that plan, call tools and act on their own.
- Companies retraining staff as agents arrive in the software they already use.
- Non-technical professionals who need to direct and check agents rather than build them.
- Students and career-changers after "AI engineer" roles.
Who is selling it
- Big platforms: Google and Kaggle, Coursera, Udemy, DeepLearning.AI and Hugging Face. Prices run from free to around $49 a month.
- Independent instructors and bootcamps, whose courses are often the best-selling ones.
- Framework and tooling companies that teach developers to build on their stack.
Most of these sellers trade on a person's name or a platform's brand. Few own a short, plain-English name for the subject itself, and that is the gap learnagents.si fills.
What this means for learnagents.si
- The subject is big and still growing. Every company adding agents to its products creates people who need to learn them.
- The name says what the product is. "Learn agents" is what learners type and what an academy, course or newsletter promises.
- The extension fits the moment. .si now reads as Super Intelligence. See From AI agents to SI agents and the case for learnagents.si.
