Description

SHIPS WITHIN 1-2 WEEKS

AI-powered applications are rapidly becoming the new normal. Personal productivity assistants, coding agents, smarter search, and automated reporting and document creation based on custom data are showing up everywhere. Powerful tools including open source LLMs, the Langchain tools ecosystem, and standardized protocols like MCP are driving this new gold rush. This book will help you earn your seat at the table.

AI Agents and Applications is your hands-on guide to developing cutting-edge language model solutions for real business needs. Using LangChain and LangGraph, you’ll learn how to orchestrate powerful agentic workflows and build dynamic tool-based agents that can search, summarize, and act in complex environments. The book takes you from the essential skill of prompt engineering, through advanced Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques, all the way to deploying multi-agent systems that can leverage the latest in AI integration—including the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

In AI Agents and Applications: With LangChain, LangGraph, and MCP, you’ll discover

Prompt and context engineering for automated systems that deliver accurate, hallucination-free responses
Advanced RAG methods for document summarization, semantic search, and robust Q&A bots
Agentic workflows with LangGraph to orchestrate structured, multi-step processes
Tool-based agents that dynamically adapt to user needs in real time
Multi-agent systems for complex, real-world tasks
MCP integration to expose, compose, and consume plug-and-play tools

No research lab or giant infrastructure needed! This book’s practical approach, clear diagrams, and abundant code samples empower you to build, refine, and deploy AI applications with confidence.

about the book

AI Agents and Applications provides a practical, step-by-step approach to building LLM-powered applications using state of the art tools like LangChain, LangGraph, and MCP. You’ll quickly master prompt engineering techniques for automated systems and advanced RAG techniques. Then, you’ll move into structured agentic workflows with LangGraph and flexible, tool-based agent architectures. The book guides you through creating single and multi-agent systems, debugging and optimizing agent performance, and integrating external tools using the new Model Context Protocol (MCP). With visual explanations and real code throughout, this book delivers everything you need to go from your product ideas to production-ready AI solutions.
