welcome

To get the most out of this book, you don’t need to be an expert in AI or machine learning. If you are comfortable with the basics of Python—things like writing simple functions and classes—know how to call and use APIs, and have some familiarity with Git and GitHub, you’ll be more than ready to follow along. That’s all the background you need.

When I first started exploring the world of AI agents, I found myself overwhelmed. Every week, it seemed like a new agent framework, research paper, or tool was being released. Even as an engineer, I struggled to make sense of the rapid changes. I realized that if I only stayed a user of these frameworks, I would never truly understand how they worked or how to evaluate which ones to trust. That’s when I decided to dig deeper—and ultimately, that path led me to writing this book.
