Building Agentic AI: Workflows, Fine-Tuning, Optimization, and Deployment (Pearson AI Signature Series)

Transform Your Business with Intelligent AI to Drive OutcomesBuilding reactive AI applications and chatbots is no longer enough. The competitive advantage belongs to those who can build AI that can respond, reason, plan, and execute. Building Agentic AI: Workflows, Fine-Tuning, Optimization, and Deployment takes you beyond basic chatbots to create fully functional, autonomous agents that automate real workflows, enhance human decision-making, and drive measurable business outcomes across high-impact domains like customer support, finance, and research.Whether you're a developer deploying your first model, a data scientist exploring multi-agent systems and distilled LLMs, or a product manager integrating AI workflows and embedding models, this practical handbook provides tried and tested blueprints for building production-ready systems. Harness the power of reasoning models for applications like computer use, multimodal systems to work with all kinds of data, and fine-tuning techniques to get the most out of AI. Learn to test, monitor, and optimize agentic systems to keep them reliable and cost-effective at enterprise scale.Master the complete agentic AI pipelineDesign adaptive AI agents with memory, tool use, and collaborative reasoning capabilitiesBuild robust RAG workflows using embeddings, vector databases, and LangGraph state managementImplement comprehensive evaluation frameworks beyond accuracy, including precision, recall, and latency metricsDeploy multimodal AI systems that seamlessly integrate text, vision, audio, and code generationOptimize models for production through fine-tuning, quantization, and speculative decoding techniquesNavigate the bleeding edge of reasoning LLMs and computer-use capabilitiesBalance cost, speed, accuracy, and privacy in real-world deployment scenariosCreate hybrid architectures that combine multiple agents for complex enterprise applicationsRegister your book for convenient access to downloads, updates, and/or corrections as they become available.
