🎯 Learning Path

Recommended Order:

  1. START_HERE → Understand agent fundamentals

  2. Function Calling → Learn tool integration

  3. ReAct Pattern → Implement reasoning loops

  4. LangGraph → Build complex workflows

  5. Multi-Agent → Orchestrate collaboration

  6. Memory & State → Add persistence

  7. Production → Deploy safely
