Awful robotic AI voice

While there are some good points the authors bring up, this is ultimately a very annoying book to listen to because of the robotic AI-sounding voice of the narrator. It seems to be an AI voice of whoever they claim is the narrator. I don’t know how a real person could sound like that.

Great Book!

Agentic Artificial Intelligence is an incredibly insightful read. As I build my own AI agents, I found the book both practical and inspiring. Pascal Bornet and his co-authors do a great job of breaking down complex ideas and showing real-world applications. It’s a clear guide to where AI is headed and how we can use it to make an impact. Highly recommended.

Ai is a complex discussion

I selected this book because of the gave a different perspective. Not only didn’t make it palatable regardless of your knowledge. It also provided examples of how we can better utilize and leverage AI identity, AI and understand why we must embrace this new technology. Clearly they’re not the only book in publication, but this book does provide an in-depth look with an open mind. Well worth the read.

Highly informative, thorough with actionables

Unlike many AI books filled with histories and common sense, this book presents where AI is heading to and at the same time empowers listeners with an actually actionable guideline. Narrator is great; got the passion and life unlike many AI narrators.

The memory section is a gem

As I develop my agent models, I was able to use the memory chapter to really understand where the persistence needs to be, where the feedback loops and enhancements need to be, when dealing with the series and methodologies and content, it’s not always obvious that the methodology needs to be improved, when dealing with patient, care, and many cases. What improves is the experience of the patient but not the methodology of treatment, and this book helped me separate between the two.
