Overview of this book
Developing AI agents that remember, adapt, and reason over complex knowledge isn’t a distant vision anymore; it’s happening now with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). This second edition of the bestselling guide leads you to the forefront of agentic system design, showing you how to build intelligent, explainable, and context-aware applications powered by RAG pipelines.
You’ll master the building blocks of agentic memory, including semantic caches, procedural learning with LangMem, and the emerging CoALA framework for cognitive agents. You’ll also learn how to integrate GraphRAG with tools such as Neo4j to create deeply contextualized AI responses grounded in ontology-driven data.
This book walks you through real implementations of working, episodic, semantic, and procedural memory using vector stores, prompting strategies, and feedback loops to create systems that continuously learn and refine their behavior. With hands-on code and production-ready patterns, you’ll be ready to build advanced AI systems that not only generate answers but also learn, recall, and evolve.
Written by a seasoned AI educator and engineer, this book blends conceptual clarity with practical insight, offering both foundational knowledge and cutting-edge tools for modern AI development.
