**August's book is "Building Agentic AI Systems"!**

This is a casual-style event. Not a structured presentation on topics. Sometimes, the discussion even drifts away from the chapters, but feel free to grab the mic to help steer it back.

Feel free to join the discussion even if you have not read the book chapters! :)

Want to discuss the contents during the reading week? Join the Slack Flyte MLOps Slack group and search for the "ai-reading-club" channel. [https://slack.flyte.org/](https://slack.flyte.org/)

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

#### Key Features

* Understand the foundations and advanced techniques of building intelligent, autonomous AI agents
* Learn advanced techniques for reflection, introspection, tool use, planning, and collaboration in agentic systems
* Explore crucial aspects of trust, safety, and ethics in AI agent development and applications
* Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook

#### Book 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 learn

* Master the core principles of GenAI and agentic systems
* Understand how AI agents operate, reason, and adapt in dynamic environments
* Enable AI agents to analyze their own actions and improvise
* Implement systems where AI agents can leverage external tools and plan complex tasks
* Apply methods to enhance transparency, accountability, and reliability in AI
* Explore real-world implementations of AI agents across industries

#### Who 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.
