Book Description
The Future Belongs to Engineers Who Can Build AI Agents That Think Beyond Prompts
AI agents are replacing static features as the foundation of modern enterprise applications. Ultimate AI Agent Development with Semantic Kernel gives you a comprehensive, hands-on guide to building production-ready AI agent applications using Microsoft Semantic Kernel, from core concepts and prompt engineering to enterprise-grade deployment.
You begin with the fundamentals of large language models and AI-first development, then progressively advance through agent design patterns, plugin architecture, prompt templates, planning, memory, and orchestration. Every concept is grounded in practical implementation, building toward real-world applications including chatbots, automation systems, and retrieval-augmented generation pipelines that solve actual enterprise problems.
The final section addresses enterprise readiness, observability, the Semantic Kernel roadmap, and future trends in agentic AI systems. Thus, by the end of the book, you will design, build, and deploy intelligent AI agent applications with confidence.
What you will learn
● Build production-ready AI agent applications using the Microsoft Semantic Kernel framework.
● Apply prompt engineering techniques to design effective agentic workflows and interactions.
● Design AI-first application architectures using scalable patterns and enterprise best practices.
● Implement plugins, planning strategies, and agent orchestration for complex AI workflows.
