Brief

Andrew Ng announced on 2026-05-20 a deeplearning.ai short course (with Google Cloud) taught by Katie Nguyen and Wafae Bakkali on building AI agents that generate images and videos by self-evaluating and iterating. The course covers three evaluation methods—image-text similarity, an LLM judge for brand criteria, and structured yes/no rubrics—and teaches prompt engineering, UI mockup image agents, and multi-scene video agents with synchronized audio.

Andrew Ng posted on 2026-05-20 a new deeplearning.ai short course (partnered with Google Cloud) taught by Katie Nguyen and Wafae Bakkali on building AI agents that generate images and videos, emphasizing agents that evaluate and iterate on their own outputs.

Key details

  • The course teaches three evaluation techniques combined in an agent: image-text similarity scoring, an LLM judge that scores against custom criteria like brand consistency, and structured rubrics of verifiable yes/no checks (e.g., "is the subject in the frame?", "does the camera motion match?").
  • Hands-on skills include image and video prompt engineering; building an image agent that turns brand guidelines into UI mockups; and building a video agent that plans multi-scene explainers and animates reference frames with synchronized audio (registration link: deeplearning.ai/courses/ai-a…).

New course: Build AI agents that generate images and videos -- an under-explored frontier. A key to performance is having the agent evaluate its own output, and iterate to improve quality. This short course is built together with @googlecloudtech and taught by Katie Nguyen and Wafae Bakkali.

You'll learn three evaluation techniques and combine them in an agent: image-text similarity scoring to check the output matches the prompt, an LLM judge that scores against custom criteria like brand consistency, and structured rubrics that break a prompt into verifiable yes/no questions like "is the subject in the frame?" and "does the camera motion match?"

Skills you'll gain:
- Learn image and video prompt engineering
- Build an image agent that turns brand guidelines into UI mockups
- Build a video agent that plans multi-scene explainers and animates reference frames with synchronized audio

Join and build agents that create images and video!
