Automation is evolving-from simple rule-based workflows to intelligent, autonomous AI agents capable of reasoning, planning, and acting across complex systems. The Complete Agentic Automation Handbook is a practical, end-to-end guide to designing, building, and operating agentic automation systems that go far beyond traditional scripts and workflows.
This book focuses on the real engineering behind agentic automation: how autonomous agents interact with tools, data, APIs, and humans-and how to design these systems so they are scalable, controllable, and production-ready.
Whether you're automating business processes, developer workflows, or intelligent decision systems, this handbook gives you the patterns and mental models needed to build next-generation automation with confidence.
What You'll Learn✔ What agentic automation is and how it differs from traditional automation
✔ Core architectures for autonomous and semi-autonomous AI agents
✔ Designing agents that plan, reason, and execute multi-step tasks
✔ Orchestrating tools, APIs, workflows, and external systems
✔ Managing agent memory, context, and knowledge sources
✔ Building reliable agent loops with guardrails and fail-safes
✔ Scaling agentic systems across teams and environments
✔ Monitoring, debugging, and improving agent behavior over time
✔ Patterns for real-world use cases: ops, data, productivity, and AI apps

Why This Book WorksMost automation books stop at tools or isolated examples. This handbook provides a system-level perspective, showing how agentic automation fits into real production environments.
The focus is on patterns, frameworks, and repeatable techniques, not hype. Each concept is grounded in practical design decisions, trade-offs, and lessons learned from real-world automation systems.
By the end of this book, you won't just automate tasks-you'll design autonomous AI applications that can adapt, reason, and operate reliably in complex environments.
If you're ready to move beyond basic automation and build the future of intelligent systems, The Complete Agentic Automation Handbook is your definitive guide.
