🤖 OpenAI has released a detailed guide on building AI agents
OpenAI has published the "Practical Guide to Building Agents" — a 32-page document that systematizes the experience of building AI agents for real tasks. This is not a manifesto or a research paper, but a detailed manual: where agents are genuinely useful, how to design them, and how to avoid falling into chaos.
An agent is not just a wrapper around an LLM. It is an autonomous system that makes decisions on its own, calls the necessary tools, adheres to instructions, and can handle multi-step tasks. OpenAI suggests starting with single agents (single-agent loops) and then moving on to more complex multi-agent architectures.
The guide is especially useful for those who are tired of demo projects and want to build a system that actually works in production. With a focus on guardrails, human-in-the-loop, and safety when performing critical tasks.
