In this lab, you'll build a sophisticated AI agent framework that can use tools, maintain memory, plan multi-step tasks, and execute complex workflows autonomously. Learn to implement ReAct patterns, function calling, agent loops, and create a flexible system for building intelligent agents.
AI Agent Framework
Build an autonomous AI agent system. Implement tool usage, memory management, planning, and multi-step reasoning.
What You'll Build
Learning Objectives
Implement autonomous agent loops and decision-making
Build a flexible tool/function calling system
Create memory systems for agent context
Implement planning and multi-step reasoning
Handle error recovery and fallback strategies
Build observability and debugging tools
Prerequisites
Advanced Python programming skills
Strong understanding of AI/LLM concepts
Experience with async programming
Familiarity with design patterns
Course Modules
Agent Architecture Design
Design the core agent architecture, implement the agent loop, and create the foundation for tool integration.
Tool System & Function Calling
Build a flexible tool registration system, implement function calling, and handle tool execution safely.
Memory Management
Implement short-term and long-term memory systems, conversation history, and semantic memory with embeddings.
Planning & Reasoning
Implement multi-step planning, chain-of-thought reasoning, and ReAct (Reasoning + Acting) patterns.
Task Decomposition
Break down complex tasks into subtasks, implement task queues, and manage task dependencies.
Error Handling & Recovery
Implement robust error handling, retry strategies, fallback mechanisms, and agent self-correction.
Agent Observability
Add logging, tracing, and debugging tools. Visualize agent reasoning and decision-making process.
Multi-Agent Coordination
Enable multiple agents to work together, implement agent communication, and coordinate complex tasks.
Advanced Tools & Integrations
Add web browsing, code execution, file operations, and API integrations as agent tools.
Production & Deployment
Optimize performance, implement safety guards, deploy as a service, and add monitoring.
