Distilled Version of the "A Practical Guide To Building Agents" by OpenAI

Concepts, definitions, comparisons, & examples effectively summarized and structured using tables

A couple of days back, OpenAI dropped a 34-page PDF:

"A Practical Guide To Building Agents"

It’s actually good. Like, really good.

If you are late, you are NOT. Read it here 

Too lazy to read the entire PDF? Same!

So I made a distilled version of it in the form of a Google Sheet

Short, Crips and Sweet 🥰

... That answers 👇

1. What is an Agent? (Core Characteristics)

2. When Should You Build an Agent? (Criteria)

3. Agent Design Foundations (Core Components)

4. Defining Tools (Types)

5. Configuring Instructions (Best Practices)

6. Orchestration Patterns (Comparison) and

7. Guardrail Types (Examples)

Skip the theory. Use the sheet. Build faster.
