As AI begins to have a substantial impact on more and more businesses, it is becoming not only a personal assistant for every employee, but also a catalyst for transformation in every organization. Across different functional roles, employees are gradually discovering that AI can help them perform their daily tasks more efficiently and provide many innovative solutions...

AI Agent frameworks are software platforms designed to simplify the creation, deployment, and management of AI Agents. These frameworks provide developers with pre-built components, abstractions, and tools to simplify the development of complex AI systems. These frameworks simplify the development of complex AI systems by providing AI Agent...

This course provides a comprehensive overview of Agentic Retrieval-Augmented Generation (Agentic RAG), an emerging AI paradigm in which Large Language Models (LLMs) are used to obtain information from external sources in...

Tools are interesting because they allow AI intelligences to have a wider range of capabilities. By adding tools, the intelligence is no longer limited to the limited set of operations it can perform, but can perform a wide variety of operations. In this chapter, we will explore the Tool Usage Design Pattern, which describes A...

Introduction Welcome to the course on Metacognition in AI Agent! This chapter is designed for beginners interested in how AI Agents think about their own thought processes. By the end of this course, you will understand the key concepts and have mastered applying metacognition in AI Agent design...

Introduction This course will cover: How to effectively plan for the deployment of AI Agent to a production environment. Common mistakes and problems you may encounter when deploying AI Agent to a production environment. How to manage costs while maintaining AI Agent performance. ...

When you start working on a project that involves multiple intelligences, you need to consider the Multi-Intelligence Design Pattern. However, it may not be obvious when to move to multi-intelligents and what the advantages are. Introduction In this course, Microsoft attempts to answer the following questions: What scenarios are applicable to the Multi-Intelligent...

INTRODUCTION This paper will cover the following: Define clear overarching goals and break down complex tasks into manageable subtasks. Leverage structured output for more reliable and machine-readable responses. Applying an event-driven approach to dynamic tasks and unexpected inputs. Learning Objectives At the completion of this article...

INTRODUCTION There are many ways to build AI Agentic systems. Given that ambiguity is a feature, not a flaw, of generative AI design, it is sometimes difficult for engineers to determine where to start. We have created a set of human-centered user experience design principles that enable developers to build customer-centered...
