Developing Agentic AI

Master the art of building scalable and reliable autonomous systems with Developing Agentic AI: Patterns and Architectures for Autonomous Systems, a definitive guide tailored for AI engineers. Authored by Ethan Quan, this 14-chapter book explores cutting-edge workflow patterns and architectures, diving into goal decomposition, ReAct reasoning, and reflection loops to create intelligent agentic systems. Learn to implement tool chaining, orchestrate multi-agent collaborations, and manage short-term and long-term memory layers with practical code snippets in Python and TypeScript.
The book addresses scalability strategies like rate limiting and sandbox execution, self-healing deployments, and monitoring for drift with performance optimization techniques. Discover governance models for responsible AI, cost optimization in agentic workflows, and the power of low-code agent factories for rapid development. Enriched with real-world case studies-such as scaling DevOps and customer support agents-this guide bridges the gap from ad-hoc scripts to robust, production-ready solutions. Ideal for AI engineers seeking to design resilient, maintainable agentic systems, this book requires no advanced prerequisites-just a drive to innovate. With concise tutorials and actionable checklists, achieve impactful results quickly.
