Learn to build AI agents by actually building them

Sidegent is a hands-on learning platform for AI agents. The Sidegent Coder writes and runs real code with you in your browser, so you learn by building, from fundamentals to frameworks (Google ADK, LangGraph, OpenAI). Every lesson auto-graded. Made in Malaysia. Start free.

Hey Product Hunt, I'm Farhan, the maker of Sidegent.
I built this because keeping up with AI agents is exhausting. Everything you need is scattered: a framework doc here, a YouTube video there, a Twitter thread, a half-broken notebook, a Discord message you'll never find again. By the time you've stitched it together, the tooling has already moved on. So most people end up reading about agents instead of building them.
Sidegent puts it in one place and makes you build. It's a hands-on platform where every lesson drops you into a real agent in the browser. You configure it, chat with it, break it, then hit "Check my work" and get auto-graded on what you actually shipped. No passive video watching.
A few things it covers:
- The frameworks people are actually hiring for: LangGraph, Google ADK, the OpenAI Agents SDK, plus the core building blocks like tools, subagents, memory, knowledge bases, and MCP.
- A path from zero to production. Start with fundamentals if you're new, or skip to production patterns if you build for a living.
- A built-in tutor. Stuck on a line in a lesson? Highlight it and ask, and it answers in the context of exactly where you are.
The first module is free, free 3 spin up machine labs, no card needed, so you can see if it clicks before paying anything.
Quick context: Sidegent already has 70+ paying members building agents on it. We started in Malaysia (the platform is fully bilingual, English and Bahasa Melayu), and this launch is about opening it up to builders everywhere. I read every piece of feedback, so tell me what's confusing, what felt too easy or hard, and which course you'd want next. Try it and tell me what breaks.

Love this @muhammad_farhan24 ! The built-in tutor feature is such a good idea. We ran into something similar building @Grass — keeping persistent VMs alive and reliable is way harder than it looks 😅

@sunnyjoshi wow interesting I should explore Grass for my machine labs
