Phase 1: Foundations

Start Here: Build the Right Foundations

Before diving into complex agent logic, you need to understand the basics of AI, set up your environment, and complete your first working agent.

🧩 Step 1: Understand AI Agents

  • Learn what AI Agents do (perceive → plan → act)

  • Explore ChatGPT or Claude to understand LLM capabilities

  • Watch beginner-friendly YouTube intros

  • Read this guide end-to-end to set expectations

🛠 Step 2: Choose Your Tools

  • Pick a starter framework (🎯 CrewAI is recommended)

  • Set up your Python environment

  • Get API keys from OpenAI or Anthropic

  • Install packages using pip or your IDE

👋 Step 3: First Hello World Agent

  • Follow a quick-start tutorial (like CrewAI’s docs)

  • Create your first agent and give it a basic task

  • Run it, get a response, and celebrate small wins 🎉

You’re not trying to build the perfect agent. You’re trying to build your first working one.
