Agentic AI for Engineers by Dhivya Nagasubramanian - 9798868823602
As AI rapidly evolves from passive models to autonomous systems capable of setting goals, reasoning, and acting independently, engineers find themselves at the threshold of a new technological era. This book serves as a bridge—connecting the world of traditional engineering to the emerging domain of Agentic AI. It is crafted for hands-on professionals who may not have formal training in AI but are eager to build the next generation of intelligent, goal-driven systems. The journey begins with foundational concepts: what it truly means for a system to exhibit agency, how autonomy differs from automation, and why this distinction matters in practice. Early chapters lay down the necessary groundwork in machine learning and generative AI, allowing readers to appreciate the architecture that enables agentic behavior. From there, the book dives into system design patterns, prompting strategies, and the most influential tools shaping the agentic AI landscape—from LangChain to CrewAI. Practical guidance is provided on engineering agents that are not only capable but also aligned, safe, and robust in dynamic environments. The third chapter shifts into applied engineering: readers are walked step-by-step through building their first AI agent, supported by real-world examples, feedback loop design, and deployment practices that mirror how modern autonomous systems are built. By the final chapter, readers will not only understand agentic systems—they will be ready to build, evaluate, and evolve them. The book closes by addressing the road ahead: open challenges in ethics, unpredictability, and system alignment, along with a roadmap for engineers who want to actively contribute to the field. Whether you're building automation today or preparing for the autonomy of tomorrow, Agentic AI for Engineers equips you with the knowledge, tools, and mindset to lead in the era of intelligent agents. What You Will Learn A practical introduction to Machine Learning and Generative AI, tailored for engineers Conceptualize, design, and build autonomous AI agents from scratch—even with a minimal AI background. The core principles of Agentic AI, including goals, environments, actions, and feedback loops Understand different Agentic AI frameworks and their applications. Integrate agentic systems into real-world applications using hands-on coding examples Review strategies for ensuring safe, ethical, and auditable agent behavior in production environments Who This Book Is For Primary audience includes Software Engineers, DevOps, and Data Engineers curious about building intelligent, autonomous systems but who lack formal AI training; Technical Product Managers and Engineering Leaders looking to understand and implement Agentic AI in real-world systems; System Architects and Automation Engineers exploring the shift from traditional automation to intelligent agent-based architectures. AI/ML Enthusiasts and self-learners, Engineering and computer science students, and professionals in emerging tech domains who want to build or deploy autonomous agents will also benefit from this book.

Your options for returning an item vary depending on what you want to return, why you want to return it, and the seller's return policy. If the item is damaged or doesn't match the listing description, you can return it even if the seller's returns policy says they don't accept returns. If you've changed your mind and no longer want an item, you can still request a return, but the seller doesn't have to accept it. If the buyer changes their mind about a purchase and wants to return an item, they may need to pay return postage costs, depending on the seller's return policy. Sellers can provide a return postage address and additional return postage information for the buyer. Sellers pay for return postage if there's a problem with the item. For example, if the item doesn't match the listing description, is damaged or defective or is counterfeit. By law, customers in the European Union also have the right to cancel the purchase of an item within 14 days beginning from the day you receive, or a third party indicated by you (other than the carrier) receives, the last good ordered by you (if delivered separately). This applies to all products except for digital items (e.g. Digital Music) that are provided immediately to you with your acknowledgement, and other items such as video, DVD, audio, video games, Sex and Sensuality products and software products where the item has been unsealed.
Refunds
Sellers have to offer a refund for certain items only if they are faulty, such as: Personalised items and custom-made items, Perishable items, Newspapers and magazines, Unwrapped CDs DVDs and computer software. If you used your PayPal balance or bank account to fund the original payment, the refunded money will go back to your PayPal account balance. If you used a credit or debit card to fund the original payment, the refunded money will go back to your card. The seller will effect the refund within three working days but it may take up to 30 days for Paypal to process the transfer. For payments funded partially by a card and partially by your balance/bank, the money taken from your card will go back to your card and the remainder will return to your PayPal balance.
