Add to basketPaperback. AI agents are easy to demonstrate. Engineering them to operate reliably in real-world applications is far more challenging.LangChain Agent Engineering is a practical guide to designing, building, testing, and deploying production-ready AI agents with Python, LangChain, and LangGraph. Rather than focusing on basic chatbot demonstrations, this book shows you how to create dependable agent systems that can use tools, manage state, retrieve trustworthy information, coordinate specialized agents, recover from failures, and operate within clearly defined security boundaries.You will begin by understanding how modern AI agents work and how they differ from language models, chains, and deterministic workflows. From there, you will learn how to design reliable tools, manage conversation context, implement short-term and long-term memory, and build stateful workflows with LangGraph.The book provides detailed coverage of Retrieval-Augmented Generation, including document preparation, chunking, embeddings, vector stores, retriever evaluation, query rewriting, document grading, reranking, contextual compression, corrective RAG, evidence verification, and source-aware responses.You will also explore multi-agent architecture, including supervisor-and-worker systems, agent handoffs, shared state, communication patterns, and methods for preventing delegation loops and conflicting outputs.Inside this book, you will learn how to: Build tool-calling AI agents with Python and LangChainDesign stateful and recoverable workflows with LangGraphImplement short-term and long-term agent memoryCreate agentic RAG systems grounded in external knowledgeImprove retrieval with query rewriting, reranking, and corrective RAGBuild supervisor, worker, and handoff-based multi-agent systemsAdd human approval to sensitive agent actionsTest agents, tools, routes, state, and structured outputsTrace and evaluate applications with LangSmithDefend against prompt injection and unsafe tool executionControl latency, token usage, reliability, and operating costsPackage and prepare agent applications for production deploymentThroughout the book, you will work with professional architecture patterns, complete Python examples, practical troubleshooting guidance, production checklists, and progressive projects. The final capstone brings the major concepts together in a production-ready agentic knowledge platform that combines retrieval, memory, orchestration, security, evaluation, and human oversight.Whether you are a Python developer, AI engineer, software professional, technical founder, or advanced learner, LangChain Agent Engineering will help you move beyond experimental AI demos and build agent systems that are observable, secure, maintainable, and ready for real-world use.
