If you want to learn how to build AI agents, don't start with the hottest frameworks like Langchain, CrewAI or Llamaindex.
Sure, you’ve probably heard everyone talking about these latest AI frameworks like they're the secret sauce to success… but here’s the truth nobody tells you.
Tools will be only as good as your understanding of the core components.
Tech will come and go, but design patterns underneath these tools will stay for much longer!
So, focus on these 2 first:
- essential components
At their heart, AI agents are augmented LLMs that combine retrieval, tool use and memory. Instead of relying on libraries to abstract these away, start by working directly with LLM APIs to implement these feature's yourself.
- workflows vs agents:
Many people confuse workflows with agents. Workflows follow a fixed set of steps, that are often used alongside agents to support predictability and consistency. Some examples of workflows include: routing, parallelization, and orchestration.
Tools and frameworks will continue to evolve, but if if you focus on first principles thinking, you will be more confident navigating it all.
