Large language models are becoming increasingly capable of handling complex, multi-step tasks.

Advances in reasoning, multimodality, and tool use have unlocked a new category of LLM-powered

systems known as agents.

This guide is designed for product and engineering teams exploring how to build their first agents,

distilling insights from numerous customer deployments into practical and actionable best

practices. It includes frameworks for identifying promising use cases, clear patterns for designing

agent logic and orchestration, and best practices to ensure your agents run safely, predictably, 


and effectively.
