Stop prompting. Start designing intelligence. Most people use AI as a tool. A select few learn to build intelligent collaborators - agents that think, learn, and act alongside them. Agentic Systems Design is your hands-on guide to becoming one of those few. In this transformative, story-driven guide, Jordan M. Hayes reveals how to move beyond generic chatbot interactions to architect systems that reason, remember, and execute complex goals. You'll learn to shape context, design memory, and orchestrate tool-using agents that operate with purpose and autonomy. From foundational principles to real-world case studies, this book teaches you to: - Architect AI collaborators that evolve and adapt over time. - Design cognitive frameworks using reasoning loops and contextual memory. - Build agentic tools for business, creativity, research, and education. - Avoid failure modes in self-directed and multi-agent systems. - Engineer trustworthy intelligence that aligns with human goals. Each chapter blends practical design insights, technical breakdowns, and narrative examples from real-world systems. Whether you're a developer, entrepreneur, or innovator, you'll learn to turn AI from a responsive assistant into a thinking partner. Agentic Systems Design isn't about writing better prompts - it's about building better minds.
