Design an Agentic Application
Take a real problem and design an agentic solution from scratch. Specify the workflow step by step and mark each step as deterministic or model-driven. Name the tools. Decide what is remembered and for how long. Place the human checkpoints. Write down how you will evaluate it, what the risks are, and what value you expect. Do all of this before writing any code.
The design document is where most of the course's questions get answered for one concrete case. If a section is hard to write, that is information: it usually means a decision has not yet been made.
Exercise
Do it yourselfProduce the design document for your chosen problem using the chapter's template.
Big question
What would make you decide this problem does not need an agent after all?
