HSE University is partnering with the Russian platform Nodul to develop a new educational standard and methodology focused on AI agents. This initiative aims to provide students with practical skills in building and deploying intelligent algorithms capable of performing complex tasks, such as data analysis, document processing, and workflow automation.

The program will be integrated into the university's Data Culture project starting in the current academic year. Up to 8,000 students across various disciplines, including programming, marketing, economics, and law, are expected to gain access to the Nodul platform. A specialized educational tariff has already been launched for users with an HSE domain.

Students will learn to design AI agents using Nodul's visual constructor, utilizing both external services and internal large language models hosted within the university's secure environment. The curriculum covers the entire development cycle, from task formulation and process decomposition to setting KPIs and ensuring information security.

The collaboration also involves creating a comprehensive methodology for AI agent implementation. Experts from Nodul will assist in defining real-world usage scenarios, technical requirements, and best practices for evaluating the performance and quality of these digital assistants.
