AI Agent Development

Build tool-using agents with MCP, function calling, retrieval, memory and reliable multi-step execution patterns.

Move from a prompt demo to an observable agent workflow.
Structured learning path

Learn in the order developers build.

Start with the decision, move into implementation and finish with production checks.

1

Define the task

Set boundaries, completion criteria and human checkpoints.

2

Connect tools

Use tool calling or MCP with strict schemas and permissions.

3

Add context

Combine retrieval, memory and stable cached instructions.

4

Evaluate runs

Measure completion, corrections, latency and cost per task.

Use case

Build a repository agent

Give an agent a bounded goal, repository tools and explicit verification steps before it reports completion.

Read-only discovery first
Scoped write permissions
Tool-result validation
Build and test evidence
AEO-ready answers

Frequently asked questions

What makes an AI agent different from a chatbot?

An agent can choose and execute tools across multiple steps while tracking state toward a defined outcome.

When should an agent use memory?

Use memory only when information must persist across steps or sessions; keep transient reasoning and durable user facts separate.
