About the Book

This book teaches you how to build multi-agent AI workflows using LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGPT-style systems, and Claude.

You'll learn:

- When to use one agent vs. multiple agents

- How to build production-grade agent crews with LangChain and CrewAI

- Real-world workflows: bug-fixing agents, content pipelines, support automation

- Cost optimization, security, and scaling strategies

You'll build:

- A 3-agent blog automation pipeline (research → write → edit)

- A 4-agent bug-fixing crew for code repositories

- A 5-agent customer support system

- And more hands-on projects you can adapt to your own work

Who this book is for:

- Mid-level developers who want to automate repetitive tasks

- Technical PMs exploring AI agent architectures

- Anyone tired of manually chaining ChatGPT prompts and ready to build real workflows

The book includes 12 chapters with complete, runnable Python code examples. Each workflow chapter includes a cheat sheet you can use as a reference.

Chapters 1–2 are available as a free sample.

About the Author

Ayushi Parmar

Aayushi is a technical writer and AI automation expert focused on building practical, production-grade multi-agent workflows. With experience in log analysis, observability tooling, and payments infrastructure, she brings real-world perspective to AI agent design.

Her work bridges the gap between AI research and practical implementation, helping developers and technical PMs understand when and how to deploy multi-agent systems effectively.

When not writing about AI workflows, Aayushi explores digital payments systems and infrastructure automation. She believes the future of work lies in well-designed agent crews, not single monolithic AI systems.
