Book DescriptionGenerative AI has moved beyond the hype, enterprises now face the challenge of turning prototypes into scalable solutions. This book is your guide to building intelligent agents powered by LLMs. Start with a GenAI maturity model, you'll learn how to assess your organization's readiness and create a roadmap toward agentic AI adoption. You'll master foundational topics like model selection & LLM deployment, progress to advanced methods such as Retrieval Augmented Generation, fine-tuning, in-context learning, and LLMOps especially in the context of Agentic AI. You'll explore a rich library of agentic AI design patterns to address coordination, explainability, fault tolerance, and human-agent interaction. This book introduces a concrete, hierarchical multi-agent architecture where high-level "Orchestrator" agents manage complex business workflows by delegating entire sub-processes to specialized agents. You will learn how these agents collaborate and communicate using the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol. To ensure your systems are production-ready, we provide a practical framework for observability using lifecycle callbacks, giving you the granular traceability needed for debugging, compliance, and cost management. Each pattern is backed by real-world scenarios and code examples using the open source Agent Development Kit (ADK)What you will learn
Apply design patterns to handle instruction drift, improve coordination, and build fault-tolerant AI systems
Design systems with the three layers of the agentic stack: function calling, tool protocols (MCP), and agent-to-agent collaboration (A2A)
Develop responsible, ethical, and governable GenAI applications
Use frameworks like Agent Development Kit, LangGraph, and CrewAI with code examples
Master prompt engineering, LLMOps, and AgentOps best practices
Build agentic systems using RAG, fine-tuning, and in-context learning
Who this book is forThis book is for AI developers, data scientists, and professionals eager to apply GenAI and agentic AI to solve business challenges. A basic grasp of data and software concepts is expected. It offers a clear path for newcomers while providing advanced insights for those already experimenting with the technology. With real-world case studies, technical guides, and production-focused examples, the book supports a wide range of skill levels-from learning the foundations to building sophisticated, autonomous AI systems for enterprise use.
