Mastering Agentic AI: From Planning to Adaptation in Autonomous Systems

By ABRAHAM F. WENDY

Mastering Agentic AI: From Planning to Adaptation in Autonomous Systems is a groundbreaking guide to the next frontier in artificial intelligence-intelligent agents that can perceive, decide, learn, and act autonomously in dynamic, real-world environments. Written by renowned AI expert Abraham F. Wendy, this book provides a comprehensive and practical roadmap for understanding and engineering agentic systems at scale. Unlike traditional AI approaches that focus on narrow, task-specific capabilities, agentic AI emphasizes goal-directed behavior, contextual understanding, continuous learning, and collaboration with humans and other agents. This book bridges the technical foundations and emerging applications of such systems, exploring the essential components that define modern autonomous agents: planning, decision-making, goal modeling, reinforcement learning, adaptability, and alignment. Spanning six in-depth parts, Mastering Agentic AI walks readers through the lifecycle of agent design and deployment. From cognitive architectures and behavior planning to debugging, evaluation, and safety, each chapter demystifies core principles while offering actionable insights for developers, researchers, and AI practitioners. Real-world case studies-from robotics and virtual assistants to swarm intelligence and multi-agent negotiation-demonstrate how agentic systems are being integrated into everyday life. Wendy also delves into the broader societal implications of agentic AI, including ethics, trust, interpretability, and the challenges of aligning autonomous systems with human values. A forward-looking final section explores next-generation architectures, cognitive simulations, and the future of human-AI collaboration, providing a visionary yet grounded view of where agentic AI is headed. Whether you're an engineer building intelligent systems, a researcher exploring AI planning and adaptation, or a decision-maker preparing for the next wave of automation, Mastering Agentic AI delivers the knowledge and perspective to navigate this rapidly evolving field. Accessible, thought-provoking, and deeply technical, this book is a vital resource for anyone seeking to understand-and shape-the intelligent agents of tomorrow.
