AI Instructor – AI agents (Remote, United States and Canada)

What the work is for

YPAI Learn teaches developers in live classes to build AI agents in code. Your classes take them from a model that calls one function to an agent that plans a multi-step task, keeps state and uses several tools, and teach them to check its trajectories and stop unsafe actions before anything runs for real.

The work

• Teach the live class “Code an agent that plans, calls tools and remembers across steps”, 90 minutes, from the class kit.
• Teach the live class “Evaluate agent trajectories and add guardrails to risky tool calls”, 90 minutes, from the class kit.
• Show live how tool names, descriptions and argument schemas steer which tool the model picks, and how the loop feeds each result back until the task is done or a step limit is hit.
• Walk learners through tracing a run step by step, writing test tasks with expected outcomes, and scoring both the final answer and the path the agent took to reach it.
• Help learners when an agent loops, calls the wrong tool or invents arguments, by reading the trace and tightening tool descriptions, permissions and approval steps.

What to expect

• Sessions happen live on video, in English, for an international group of learners. The application also lets you name other languages you teach in.
• In the kit for each class: a minute-by-minute plan, slides, speaker notes, a demo agent with its traces, and a recorded backup of the demo.
• From your own computer, you teach remotely with a camera, a microphone and a stable connection, and a development environment where the demo agent runs.
• You teach a class once you have passed the instructor test for that class.
• Before a teaching assignment starts, you sign an instructor agreement. It covers pay, confidentiality and how class material may be used.
• Each invitation states the class times and the price learners pay, and you see both before you accept.
• Already have a course on AI agents, or want to make one? You can sell your own recorded course on YPAI Learn too. Bring a course you've built, or build one with our kit. It's the same application.

What you bring

• An agent you built in code for real work, with its repository, traces or evaluation results that you can explain.
• Experience teaching programming, mentoring engineers, running code labs or reviewing other people's system designs.
• Patience with developers who expect an agent to behave like a fixed script.

You need

• Hands-on work building AI agents in code: tool calling, state and memory, multi-step planning, tracing and tests.
• Strong programming in Python or TypeScript, including async code, error handling and writing tests.
• Fluent spoken English, the language the classes are taught in.
• 18 years or older.

Good to know

• An employment contract may require approval for outside work. If yours does, settle it before you accept an assignment.
• How many classes come your way depends on demand; the invitation for each states the time it expects you to commit.
• The application is free, and you do not need to have bought or taken a YPAI Learn course.
