AI Agents in Action

By Micheal Lanham

AI Agents in Action is a practical guide to building autonomous AI systems powered by large language models. Micheal Lanham takes you from the fundamentals of LLM-based agents all the way to designing and deploying multi-agent systems that can reason, plan, and act in the real world.

The book covers the core building blocks of AI agents — tools, memory, and orchestration — and shows how to combine them into systems capable of handling complex, multi-step tasks. You'll learn how agents perceive their environment, make decisions, and take actions using frameworks like LangChain and AutoGen.

Whether you're building a single-agent assistant or a team of collaborating agents, this book provides the patterns and hands-on examples to bring your ideas to production. A must-read for engineers looking to move beyond simple LLM integrations and build genuinely intelligent systems.
