Supporting his explanations with graphics and using concrete examples and hands-on implementations, author \u003cb\u003eAndrea De Mauro\u003c\/b\u003e gets you thinking about system design and mental models rather than boilerplate code and syntax debugging. You'll quickly focus on the right level: how to manage prompts, data, and application components to get the results you want. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYou'll start with a bare-bones chatbot, as you learn how to create good prompts and improve accuracy using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). To help your applications live in the real world, the book discusses how to connect them to document collections, structured databases, and CRM tools. You'll build on this foundation, creating your own agents and equipping them with tools for data analysis and complex reasoning. Reviewer \u003cb\u003eJulien Pohie\u003c\/b\u003e of Thoughtworks commented, \"The emphasis on multi-agent orchestration aligns perfectly with modern engineering best practices.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStep-by-step guidance, rich diagrams, and workflow summaries help you stay oriented, even through advanced material. To emphasize conceptual and design thinking, you'll start each project using the low-code development tool Langflow. For readers who want to go deeper, every example also includes fully-annotated Python implementations. You'll see the code, libraries, APIs, and data behind each application, along with practical advice on how to deploy and monitor your applications. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCompact by design, this fast-paced book includes eight fully illustrated chapters that build intuition through engaging, memorable, and relatable real-world scenarios. As you read, you'll experience a shift from AI as the familiar conversational chatbot to AI as an essential part of your application and, further, to the design of multi-agentic teams with specialized roles and supervised coordination. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd you'll enjoy every page of the journey! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat's inside\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- Low-code examples using Langflow and KNIME\u003cbr\u003e- Core mechanics of RAG, agentic structures, and prompt engineering\u003cbr\u003e- Practical AI projects including chatbots and reasoning agents \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the reader\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor readers of all levels who want to create AI applications.
