How To Get Started With Building Agentic AI Solutions/Applications - w/ Meri thumbnail

Agentic AI isn’t just hype—it’s the future of how intelligent systems will work. In this episode, we dive deep with Meri, an engineer and educator at the forefront of this next-gen paradigm.

Who this is for

  • You are building something real and need the unpolished version before the launch post.
  • You would rather hear Meri's version while the mess is still fresh than get another polished hindsight sermon.

Key takeaways

  • Get Started With Building Agentic AI Solutions/Applications - w/ Meri
  • Builders tired of GenAI fluff, and ready to create durable systems
  • If you’ve ever wondered how to actually build agentic AI applications —beyond the flashy demos—this is your starting point.
  • As unreal as it feels to say this, it is now August 2025 and generative AI is somehow not the most cuttingedge tech...
  • strong knowledge of what Agentic AI is, how to get started with developing as well as learning about Agentic AI apps...

As unreal as it feels to say this, it is now August 2025 and generative AI is somehow not the most cuttingedge tech currently. Yes, that's right. Move aside generative AI because Agentic AI is

00:00:12

generative AI because Agentic AI is where the collective future of the AI world is headed. So here's a promise. By the end of this video, you'll have a strong knowledge of what Agentic AI is,

00:00:21

strong knowledge of what Agentic AI is, how to get started with developing as well as learning about Agentic AI apps and also how to upskill to break into jobs in this field even without any

00:00:29

jobs in this field even without any prior SVE or machine learning experience. experience. My hot take is Python is not the language for applied AI engineering and is actually TypeScript. For somebody

00:00:38

is actually TypeScript. For somebody that's just trying to get started with developing for agentic AI, what would be some of the resources that you can recommend or a decent first couple
