AI agents, explained and built step by step

An agent is an AI model that can take steps on its own: look something up, use a tool, and decide what to do next. These posts explain how that works and where it breaks.

Then you build one. The step-by-step posts start small, with a research agent you can run and check yourself.

What you will learn

  • Tell an agent from a chatbot
  • Pick a first task an agent can do well
  • Give an agent tools and limits
  • Test an agent before you trust it

A full course on this topic, Build Your First AI Agent, is planned. Until then, the lessons below are the course.
