Rapid advances in large language models (LLMs) have made new kinds of AI applications, known as agents, possible. Written by a veteran of web development, Principles of Building AI Agents focuses on the substance without hype or buzzwords. This book walks through: - The key building blocks of agents: providers, models, prompts, tools, and memory. How to break down complex tasks with agentic workflows. Giving agents access to knowledge bases with RAG (retrieval-augmented generation). If you're trying to build agents or assistants into your product, you need to read "Principles" ASAP - Peter Kazanjy, Author of Founding Sales and CEO of Atrium. Sam Bhagwat is the founder of Mastra, an open-source JavaScript agent framework, and previously the co-founder of Gatsby, the popular React framework.
