I'm delighted to announce that the first book in my "Pearson A.I. Signature Series" is "Building Agentic AI" by the prolific author Sinan Ozdemir... and it will be published on Sunday!
It's available for pre-order now worldwide from wherever you buy your books! You can also read a digital version in the O'Reilly platform today if you have access to it.
The book is packed with hands-on examples in Python and it allows you to master the complete agentic A.I. pipeline, including practical guidance and code on how to:
Design adaptive A.I. agents with memory, tool use, and collaborative reasoning capabilities.
Build robust RAG workflows using embeddings, vector databases and LangGraph state management.
Implement comprehensive evaluation frameworks beyond just "accuracy"
Deploy multimodal A.I. systems that seamlessly integrate text, vision, audio and code generation.
Optimize models for production through fine-tuning, quantization and speculative decoding techniques.
Navigate the bleeding edge of reasoning LLMs and computer-use capabilities.
Balance cost, speed, accuracy and privacy in real-world deployment scenarios.
Create hybrid architectures that combine multiple agents for complex enterprise applications.
Thanks to Debra Williams Cauley, Dayna Isley and many more at Pearson for bringing this series to life. The second book in the series will be available in December and I'll announce that shortly!
