About
Building Agentic Systems is a comprehensive, expert-authored guide to designing and deploying intelligent, autonomous AI agents using large language models and state-of-the-art generative AI. The book introduces the foundational concepts of agentic systems, detailing how to architect agents capable of planning, reasoning, reflection, and multi-step tool use. It highlights the powerful coordinator, worker, and delegator approach for orchestrating complex, scalable AI systems, and delves into advanced techniques that enable agents to operate with minimal human intervention. Covering crucial topics such as agent introspection, adaptability, collaboration, and multi-agent cooperation, the book also addresses the importance of trust, transparency, safety, and ethical considerations in real-world deployments. Numerous practical examples and case studies illustrate the transformative impact of agentic AI across industries like automation, finance, and healthcare. Ideal for AI developers, machine learning engineers, and software architects, this book serves as both a practical manual and a visionary roadmap for building the next generation of autonomous AI agents that are reliable, ethical, and aligned with human values.
