Book Description
Generative AI is powerful, yet often unpredictable. This guide shows you how to turn that unpredictability into reliability by thinking beyond prompts and approaching AI like an architect. At its core is the Context Engine, a glass-box, multi-agent system you'll learn to design and apply across real-world scenarios. Written by an AI guru and author of various cutting-edge AI books, this book takes you on a hands-on journey from the foundations of context design to building a fully operational Context Engine. Instead of relying on brittle prompts that give only simple instructions, you'll begin with semantic blueprints that map goals and roles with precision, then orchestrate specialized agents using the Model Context Protocol. As the engine evolves, you'll integrate memory and high-fidelity retrieval with citations, implement safeguards against data poisoning and prompt injection, and enforce moderation to keep outputs aligned with policy. You'll also harden the system into a resilient architecture, then see it pivot across domains, from legal compliance to strategic marketing, proving its domain independence. By the end of this book, you'll be equipped with the skills to engineer an adaptable, verifiable architecture you can repurpose across domains and deploy with confidence. *Email sign-up and proof of purchase required

Who this book is for
This book is for AI engineers, software developers, system architects, and data scientists who want to move beyond ad hoc prompting and learn how to design structured, transparent, and context-aware AI systems. It will also appeal to ML engineers and solutions architects with basic familiarity with LLMs who are eager to understand how to orchestrate agents, integrate memory and retrieval, and enforce safeguards.
