Question 1

What is The Agentic Book?

Accepted Answer

A practical book on building AI agents that do real work. Seventeen chapters from the math you need, through language models and retrieval, to agents you can run in production. You read it in the browser. Your coding agents can read the same material through MCP.

Question 2

Who is it for?

Accepted Answer

Software engineers putting agents into products, developers who want a clear path from basics to shipping, and teams that need the same vocabulary from foundations to operations.

Question 3

What does “agents can read it” mean?

Accepted Answer

The chapters are structured for machines as well as people: clear sections, a machine index, and an MCP server. An assistant in your editor can open the table of contents, search, and walk you through a chapter without scraping a PDF.

Question 4

What do I get on the waitlist?

Accepted Answer

Early chapters as they go live on agentic-book.org, notes on the agent-readable edition, and a heads-up when the full book launches. Curriculum updates only.

Question 5

Is anything free to read now?

Accepted Answer

The site is the home for the living edition. Join the waitlist to hear when new chapters open. Source and structure live in the public GitHub repo.
