What Is an AI Agent? The Complete Technical Reference
A definitive technical guide to AI agents: how they differ from standard LLMs, their core architectural components (memory, planning, tools), and how they execute autonomous workflows.
Notes, experiments, and playbooks on building production LLM applications, orchestrating autonomous agents, and optimizing software delivery. Written for developers and practitioners.
Learn how to architect, build, and deploy production-ready AI agents using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Covers state management, security, and scalability.
A definitive technical guide to AI agents: how they differ from standard LLMs, their core architectural components (memory, planning, tools), and how they execute autonomous workflows.
A definitive technical guide to Context Engineering: how it differs from prompt engineering, the architecture of the context window, and how to programmatically structure data for reliable LLM inference.
A definitive technical guide to Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG): how it solves LLM hallucinations, the core architecture of vector databases and embeddings, and why it beats fine-tuning for enterprise data.
A practical guide to the four-phase Agent Development Lifecycle. Learn how leading engineering teams ship AI agents reliably and repeatedly.
