I'm writing a book: "The Agent Paradigm"

I'm writing a book: "The Agent Paradigm"

After building AI agents for the past 2 years, I realized something:

Most developers are learning agents wrong.

They jump into frameworks. Copy code from tutorials. Build demos that break in production.

But nobody explains the paradigm shift that's actually happening.


The full chapter list:

0: The Automation Story

1: The Paradigm Shift

2: The Agent Loop

3: Prompts & Instructions

4: Tools

5: Context Engineering

6: Events & Plugins

7: Multi-Agent Systems

8: Trust & Safety

9: ML & Model Development

10: Evaluation & Error Handling

11: Deployment

12: Design Principles

13: The Future


Each chapter covers:

→ What problem it solves

→ How different approaches handle it

→ Landscape analysis (companies, trends)

→ Concrete opportunities


Who it's for:

  • Developers who want to understand agents deeply
  • Founders evaluating the agent space
  • Investors spotting real opportunities vs. hype

I need your help:

Which chapter do you want me to finish first?

Comment below with the chapter number (0-13), and I'll prioritize based on what you want to read.
