Introduction: Agentic workflows represent a paradigm shift from simple prompt-response patterns to autonomous, goal-directed AI systems. Unlike traditional LLM applications where the model responds once and stops, agentic systems can plan multi-step solutions, execute actions, observe results, and iterate until the goal is achieved. This guide covers the core patterns that make agentic systems work:… Continue reading

Introduction: Prompt engineering is the art and science of communicating effectively with large language models. Unlike traditional programming where you write explicit instructions, prompt engineering requires understanding how models interpret language, what context they need, and how to structure requests for optimal results. This guide covers the fundamental techniques that separate amateur prompts from production-quality… Continue reading

Introduction: Memory is what transforms a stateless LLM into a contextually aware assistant. Without memory, every interaction starts from scratch—the model has no knowledge of previous conversations, user preferences, or accumulated context. This guide covers the memory architectures that enable persistent, intelligent AI systems: conversation buffers for recent context, summary memory for long conversations, vector-based… Continue reading

Introduction: Function calling transforms LLMs from text generators into action-taking agents. Instead of just producing text responses, models can now decide when to call external functions, APIs, or tools to accomplish tasks. This capability enables building assistants that can search the web, query databases, send emails, execute code, and interact with any system that exposes… Continue reading
