Master the art of building AI agents with large language models using the coordinator, worker, and delegator approach for orchestrating complex AI systems

Key FeaturesUnderstand the foundations and advanced techniques of building intelligent, autonomous AI agentsLearn advanced techniques for reflection, introspection, tool use, planning, and collaboration in agentic systemsExplore crucial aspects of trust, safety, and ethics in AI agent development and applicationsPurchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBookBook Description

Gain unparalleled insights into the future of AI autonomy with this comprehensive guide to designing and deploying autonomous AI agents that leverage generative AI (GenAI) to plan, reason, and act. Written by industry-leading AI architects and recognized experts shaping global AI standards and building real-world enterprise AI solutions, it explores the fundamentals of agentic systems, detailing how AI agents operate independently, make decisions, and leverage tools to accomplish complex tasks.

Starting with the foundations of GenAI and agentic architectures, you’ll explore decision-making frameworks, self-improvement mechanisms, and adaptability. The book covers advanced design techniques, such as multi-step planning, tool integration, and the coordinator, worker, and delegator approach for scalable AI agents.

Beyond design, it addresses critical aspects of trust, safety, and ethics, ensuring AI systems align with human values and operate transparently. Real-world applications illustrate how agentic AI transforms industries such as automation, finance, and healthcare. With deep insights into AI frameworks, prompt engineering, and multi-agent collaboration, this book equips you to build next-generation adaptive, scalable AI agents that go beyond simple task execution and act with minimal human intervention.

What you will learnMaster the core principles of GenAI and agentic systemsUnderstand how AI agents operate, reason, and adapt in dynamic environmentsEnable AI agents to analyze their own actions and improviseImplement systems where AI agents can leverage external tools and plan complex tasksApply methods to enhance transparency, accountability, and reliability in AIExplore real-world implementations of AI agents across industriesWho this book is for

This book is ideal for AI developers, machine learning engineers, and software architects who want to advance their skills in building intelligent, autonomous agents. It’s perfect for professionals with a strong foundation in machine learning and programming, particularly those familiar with Python and large language models. While prior experience with generative AI is beneficial, the book covers foundational concepts for those new to agentic systems.
