THE MULTI-AGENT ENGINEER
Building Production-Ready AI SystemsBy Silver Nsaka
Length4h 3m
About this audiobook
The Multi-Agent Engineer is the definitive engineering handbook for building production-ready multi-agent AI systems. Written for AI engineers, ML engineers, and enterprise architects who already understand LLM basics, this book teaches the distributed systems discipline required to take agentic AI from demo to production
Following a complete Media Rights & Content Licensing Engine case study built chapter by chapter, you will learn to:
• Design multi-agent architectures with the Supervisor, Planner-Executor, and Critic-Actor patterns
• Build typed agent communication using Pydantic schemas
• Implement Human-in-the-Loop approval workflows with durable state persistence
• Engineer fault tolerance with retry logic, circuit breakers, and the Dead-Agent Queue
• Evaluate agents with LLM-as-Judge pipelines calibrated against expert judgment
• Secure agents with IAM, prompt injection defense, and sandboxed tool
• Deploy on Kubernetes with event-driven autoscaling
