Your Starting Point

The Launchpad

Three stages from "what is an AI agent?" to "here's the governance template for my production deployment." Pick where you are. Go at your pace. Every stage feeds the next.

Understand

🧠

Making Sense of AI Agents

The Primer — read this first

The complete mental model for anyone entering the AI agent space. Covers the 8 building blocks (perception, reasoning, memory, planning, tools, skills, context, security), cognitive architecture, MCP explained, context engineering, local vs. cloud trade-offs, and a use-case maturity framework. You'll finish with a vocabulary and mental model that makes the rest of the journey make sense.

Building Products with AI Agents

The Builder's Guide — choose your tools

30+ tools mapped across 7 layers — from prompt-to-app platforms (Lovable, Bolt, Cursor) through agent frameworks (LangGraph, CrewAI) to enterprise infrastructure (Azure Foundry, Bedrock, Vertex). Includes the tool-first trap (and how to avoid it), the right approach (Problem → Use Case → ROI → Tool), 5 use-case pathways, product-market fit, and pricing models.
