Engineering leaders building AI systems face a critical decision: when does a simple prompt-response pattern fall short, and when do you need autonomous agents that can reason, use tools, and adapt their approach?

Building Effective AI Agents: Architecture Patterns and Implementation Frameworks shares best practices and guidelines for building production-ready agentic systems. We'll cover single-agent designs, multi-agent orchestration, and agentic workflows, with real examples from companies like Coinbase, Intercom, and Thomson Reuters who are building and deploying these systems at scale.
