In this video, I distill for you hundreds of hours of research from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google into a 20-minute masterclass on the foundation of building ANY AI agent. The internet is filled with advice on how to build effective AI agents, and I wanted to cover the best for you - no fluff.
What I cover here isn't just theory - it's the strategies and understanding of AI agents used by the best of the best today.
