Welcome back, engineers! It’s time to level up. ⚡️
Last week, we built the foundation. This week, we build for production. Week 2: Advanced Agentic AI Implementation is all about moving from prototypes to robust, scalable, and secure agentic systems. This is where professional AI engineering truly begins.
The attached presentation will guide you through the advanced concepts you need to deploy agents that can handle real-world complexity.
This week, we are mastering:
• Advanced RAG Techniques: Go beyond basic vector search. We’re implementing Hybrid Search, Re-ranking, and the powerful GraphRAG to give our agents a deeper, more accurate understanding of complex information.
• Strategic Fine-Tuning: Learn how to specialize models for agentic tasks. We’ll cover techniques to improve tool use, enforce specific output formats, and create agents that are experts in their domain.
• Rigorous Evaluation: If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it. We’re diving into essential frameworks like RAGAS and TruLens to scientifically evaluate agent performance and ensure reliability.
• Production & Security: Prepare your agents for the real world. This includes critical lessons on security best practices, monitoring, observability, and designing defense-in-depth against prompt injection and other threats.
Your turn!
- Download the full slide deck for Week 2.
- Absorb the advanced concepts.
- Let’s discuss in the comments: What is the single biggest challenge you face when thinking about taking an AI agent to production? Is it security, reliability, or something else?
Let’s tackle these challenges together.
