You don't need another "intro to LLMs" tutorial. You need patterns—proven architectural blueprints that tell you exactly when to use RAG vs. fine-tuning, how to build agents that don't spiral, and why your retrieval pipeline returns garbage. This book gives you 29 of them, with architecture diagrams and working Python code. Free. No fluff. No vendor lock-in.

This book familiarizes readers with the world of LLM and agentic AI, and helps them quickly gain a working-level knowledge of building useful agentic AI solutions for process industry operations. With no prerequisites required, practical demo applications, and a hands-on approach adopted throughout, this book makes advanced AI technologies accessible to process engineers and data scientists alike. It aims to help process data scientists and engineers take their first confident steps into Agentic AI world, understand the full picture, and build a strong enough foundation to keep learning and building on their own.
