Building Production-Grade AI Agents: A Complete Engineering Roadmap
· 33 min read
AI agents are moving beyond experimental chatbots into systems that can search enterprise knowledge, call APIs, analyse data, write code, update business systems and coordinate multi-step workflows.
However, building a reliable AI agent is not simply a matter of connecting a large language model to a few tools. Production-grade agents require backend engineering, model knowledge, prompt design, tool orchestration, memory, security, evaluation, observability and operational governance.
