Pragmatic AI Agents with the Gemini API

 Go Beyond Chatbots. Build AI That Acts.

 The age of AI is here, but the real revolution isn't in chatbots that talk—it's in AI agents that do. Are you a developer or product manager ready to
 move beyond simple API calls and build truly intelligent applications that can reason, plan, and interact with the world?

 Pragmatic AI Agents with the Gemini API is your hands-on, step-by-step guide to mastering the next frontier of artificial intelligence. This book will
 teach you the core principles and practical patterns for building sophisticated agents that can see, learn, and take action.

 Starting with your first API call, you will journey through a series of increasingly powerful projects, ultimately building agents that can:

•See and Understand Images: Analyze UI screenshots and provide expert feedback using Gemini's multimodal vision capabilities.
•Act on the World with Tools: Master the art of Function Calling, the key to giving your agent the ability to use APIs, send emails, and interact with
    external services.
•Learn from the Live Web: Build agents that can overcome their knowledge cutoff by searching the internet to provide grounded, up-to-the-minute
    answers.
•Read and Understand a Codebase: Create a developer assistant that can navigate a local filesystem, read files, and answer complex questions about your code.
•Analyze Data by Writing Its Own Code: Construct the ultimate data analyst agent that can write and execute its own Python code with the pandas library to deliver insights from raw data.

 This book is uniquely designed for both the builders and the visionaries:

•For Programmers: You will find complete, production-quality Python code for every example, learning the essential patterns for tool selection,
    multi-step reasoning, and security.
•For Product Managers: You will gain a deep understanding of the agentic paradigm, learning how to "think in tools" and design products that leverage AI to solve real business problems.

 By the end of this book, you won't just understand AI agents—you'll be equipped to build them. Start your journey to the forefront of the AI revolution
 today.
