What You'll Build

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.

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

1

Agent Architecture Design

Design the core agent architecture, implement the agent loop, and create the foundation for tool integration.

2

Tool System & Function Calling

Build a flexible tool registration system, implement function calling, and handle tool execution safely.

3

Memory Management

Implement short-term and long-term memory systems, conversation history, and semantic memory with embeddings.

4

Planning & Reasoning

Implement multi-step planning, chain-of-thought reasoning, and ReAct (Reasoning + Acting) patterns.

5

Task Decomposition

Break down complex tasks into subtasks, implement task queues, and manage task dependencies.

6

Error Handling & Recovery

Implement robust error handling, retry strategies, fallback mechanisms, and agent self-correction.

7

Agent Observability

Add logging, tracing, and debugging tools. Visualize agent reasoning and decision-making process.

8

Multi-Agent Coordination

Enable multiple agents to work together, implement agent communication, and coordinate complex tasks.

9

Advanced Tools & Integrations

Add web browsing, code execution, file operations, and API integrations as agent tools.

10

Production & Deployment

Optimize performance, implement safety guards, deploy as a service, and add monitoring.
