Agentic Design Patterns: A Hands-On Guide to Building Intelligent Systems

Ce livre est une ressource pratique conçue pour aider les développeurs à maîtriser l'art de la création d'agents d'IA sophistiqués. Alors que l'intelligence artificielle évolue de simples programmes réactifs à des entités autonomes capables de comprendre le contexte et de prendre des décisions complexes, ce livre fournit les modèles de conception essentiels et les techniques éprouvées nécessaires pour construire efficacement des systèmes intelligents. Chacun des 21 modèles de conception représente un élément fondamental pour la création d'agents capables de percevoir leur environnement, de prendre des décisions éclairées et d'exécuter des actions de manière autonome.

Agentic Design A Hands-On Guide to Building Intelligent Systems is structured as a comprehensive hands-on guide, with each chapter dedicated to a single agentic pattern. Within each chapter, you will find a detailed pattern overview, practical applications and use cases, one or more hands-on code example, and key takeaways for quick review. From foundational concepts such as Prompt Chaining and Tool Use to advanced topics like Multi-Agent Collaboration and Self-Correction, readers will gain practical knowledge they can immediately apply. While the chapters build on each other, you can also use the book as a handy reference, jumping to patterns that address your specific challenges.

To provide a tangible “canvas” for the code examples, this guide utilizes three prominent agent development LangChain and its extension LangGraph, which offer a flexible way to build complex operational sequences; Crew AI, which provides a structured framework for orchestrating multiple agents; and the Google Agent Developer Kit (Google ADK), which offers tools for building, evaluating, and deploying agents. By showcasing examples across these tools, you will gain a broad understanding of how these patterns can be applied in any technical environment.

Building effective agentic systems requires more than just a powerful language model; it demands structure and design. Agentic patterns provide reusable, battle-tested solutions to common challenges, much like design patterns in software engineering. They offer a common language that makes an agent’s logic clearer, more maintainable, and more robust. By the end of this journey, you will possess both the theoretical understanding and the practical skills to implement these 21 essential patterns, enabling you to build more intelligent, capable, and autonomous systems on your chosen development canvas.
