Agentic Design Patterns 

👉 🧠 ✅ I’m excited to share that my new book, "Agentic Design Patterns: A Hands-On Guide to Intelligent AI Agents," is officially out!

👉 🧠 ✅ In a field moving at lightning speed, this book focuses on the durable, fundamental patterns that are becoming the foundation of intelligent systems: RAG, Reflection, Routing, Memory, and many others. It’s our "reflection moment" on the core ideas we need to build what's next.

🙏 This book was built with the help of an amazing community, and I'm incredibly grateful: Thank you to everyone who reviewed my initial notes and chapters. Your feedback was critical in shaping the final result. A special thanks to Marco Argenti and Saurabh Tiwary for their support and for writing the forewords, and to Salem Haykal for approving the book. I'm also very happy to announce that 100% of my author royalties will be donated to Save the Children International. Thank you all for the support. I can't wait to hear what you think! Thank you Paul Drougas and Springer Nature for publishing the book

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who supplied comments on the Agentic Design Patterns book. Your feedback was instrumental in shaping the manuscript, and its quality is a direct result of your generous support.

I'm thrilled to share that publication with Springer is imminent. As you have been part of its creation, I invite you to consider the final result by purchasing a copy online or at your favourite bookstore. Also, I have convinced the publisher to offer you a special Author PreSale discount of 20% off the e-book or printed paperback (with free shipping worldwide!). Just go to https://link.springer.com/book/9783032014016 order the book by December 12, and use the coupon code ADPPreSale at checkout.

I am also proud to confirm that all of my author royalties will be donated to support the vital work of Save the Children. Your support for the book will directly contribute to a wonderful cause.

Thank you again for being part of this journey…
