Launch Your Agent
Turning intelligence into action.
+ Last time
We gave our application a brain.
It can reason.
Today, we'll teach it how to work.
+ Software evolution
Today we move from reason to action.
Compute
Execute instructions.
Reason
Understand and decide.
Act
Use tools and accomplish goals.
Participate
Coordinate with external systems.
+ LLMs are not agents
An LLM answers questions. An agent accomplishes goals.
The difference isn't intelligence.
It's execution.
+ What makes an agent?
An agent produces outcomes.
- 01 Pursue a goal
- 02 Use tools
- 03 Read and write files
- 04 Interact with external systems
- 05 Iterate until the task is complete
+ The agent runtime
An agent doesn't work alone.
It operates inside an environment with tools.
That environment gives it what it needs to execute.
+ Anatomy
The runtime turns a model into an operator.
- 01 Model
- 02 Context
- 03 Skills
- 04 Tools and integrations
- 05 Memory
- 06 Execution loops
- 07 Guardrails
- 08 Observability
+ Hiring an intern
Intelligence is not enough. You need an operating environment.
An intern needs
- A job
- Documentation
- Tools
- Feedback
- Boundaries
- Goals
An agent needs
- Objective
- Context
- Integrations
- Permissions
- Verification
- Observability
+ Pi Coding Agent
Pi is a specialized builder agent.
Its job is to build software. Pi is excellent at building, but it is not meant to run an entire autonomous system.
- 01 Write code
- 02 Test
- 03 Refactor
- 04 Execute commands
- 05 Iterate
+ Today's integration map
We are building the first version of the agent environment.
+ Build
Today we connect the agent integrations.
- 01 Deploy Pi Coding Agent
- 02 Connect Nebius Token Factory
- 03 Create a blockchain wallet
- 04 Connect GitHub
- 05 Connect Vercel
- 06 Connect Telegram
+ The journey
Each workshop builds on the previous one.
Workshop 1 - Give our application a brain.
Workshop 2 - Turn it into an agent.
Workshop 3 - Give the agent a job.
Workshop 4 - Let the agent get paid.
+ Build mode
WS-02 / Build
Let's build.
Install Pi, connect the Hono server, and verify every integration.
