#1about 4 minutes

Tracing the evolution from language models to AI agents

The history of AI agents is traced from simple text completion models to complex, multi-step reasoning systems using frameworks like ReAct.

#2about 2 minutes

Defining the core components of an AI agent

An AI agent is a system where an LLM decides the application's control flow using reasoning, memory, and tools.

#3about 4 minutes

Exploring common design patterns for building AI agents

Several composable patterns like reflection, tool use, planning, and multi-agent collaboration provide structured approaches for building agentic systems.

#4about 1 minute

Why design patterns are crucial for scalable agents

Agentic design patterns are essential building blocks that provide structure, enable composition, and improve the testability of complex AI applications.

#5about 4 minutes

Evaluating agent reliability over model capability

Agent evaluation shifts focus from single-attempt model capability to multi-attempt reliability, requiring custom benchmarks to measure real-world task success.

#6about 3 minutes

Moving from prompt engineering to context engineering

Context engineering expands on prompt engineering by systematically providing the right information, tools, and memory to the LLM at the right time.

#7about 4 minutes

Building agents with Google Gemini and open source tools

You can build agents using Google Gemini through AI Studio, the native SDK, or integrations with open-source libraries like LangChain and CrewAI.
