Agentic RAG: Building Smarter AI with Retrieval-Augmented Generation and Autonomous Agents

In a world where traditional large language models hit their limits, Agentic RAG steps in to redefine what's possible. This book is your hands-on guide to building intelligent systems that not only generate responses but actively retrieve information, use tools, and reason like autonomous agents. Combining the power of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with modern agent frameworks, this book explores how to create AI that is more accurate, interactive, and capable of completing complex tasks without constant human input.
You'll learn how to move beyond passive chatbots to AI that plans, searches, and executes. From LangChain and LlamaIndex to OpenAI function calling and prompt engineering, every chapter breaks down the tools, design patterns, and workflows needed to build your own agentic AI from scratch to scale.

Agentic RAG: Building Smarter AI with Retrieval-Augmented Generation and Autonomous Agents is a comprehensive developer-focused guide that teaches you how to blend RAG pipelines with autonomous decision-making. Whether you're fine-tuning GPT-based assistants or launching tool-using AI agents, this book offers practical insights, hands-on examples, and complete code walkthroughs. Learn how to structure memory, design tool interfaces, set up vector databases, and orchestrate reasoning processes that make your AI smarter and more useful.
