Two Python-agent series. They’re not a choice — they’re a sequence.

Start with Foundations if you’re new — build an agent by hand, no framework. Move to Production once the basics click. Pick by where you are right now.

1Level 1Foundations — build it by hand
2Level 2Production — ship a real one

01Beginner · Foundations

AI Agents from Scratch in Python

Build a working agent with nothing but Python and one LLM call — no frameworks, so you actually understand the loop.

Start here if you…
are new to agents, or want to know how one actually works before reaching for a framework.
Length
6 parts (00–05)
Approach
Pure Python + a raw LLM call
Prereq
Can read basic Python (Part 0 teaches it)
You'll build
Your own agent loop — tools, reasoning, memory — by hand
Start Part 00 — Python basics
02Intermediate · Production

Agentic AI in Python: Zero to Production

Take a real agent all the way to a deployed, observable service using LangGraph — state, tools, memory, and shipping.

Start here if you…
already get the basics (or finished Level 1) and want to ship something production-grade.
Length
7 parts (01–07)
Approach
LangGraph + deploy & observability
Prereq
Comfortable with agent fundamentals
You'll build
A real agentic app, deployed as an observable service
Start Part 01 — first build

Guide · 5 minAgent Orchestration Patterns: A 2026 GuideThe five agent orchestration patterns (supervisor, hierarchical, sequential, parallel, swarm), why the supervisor wins in 2026, what multi-agent really costs, and when a single agent was the right call all along.Navmeet Kaur · Jun 26, 2026Guide · 5 minAI Agent Memory Architecture: A 2026 GuideAI agent memory is the storage tier behind the context window. The three long-term types (episodic, semantic, procedural), the write-recall-forget lifecycle, where it breaks, and when an agent needs no memory at all.Navmeet Kaur · Jun 25, 2026Comparison · 5 minAI Agents vs Microservices: An Architect's Guide (2026)An agent is not a smarter microservice — it's a different runtime contract. The four guarantees you rely on, the six differences that matter, and a clear rule for when a plain service still wins.Navmeet Kaur · Jun 25, 2026Guide · 4 minContext Engineering Architecture: A 2026 GuideContext engineering treats the model's window as RAM you assemble on a budget, not a prompt you write. The sources that fill it, the pipeline that builds it, where it breaks, and when a plain prompt is enough.Navmeet Kaur · Jun 25, 2026
