Building with Agentic AI
Like Duolingo, but for Building with Agentic AI. Tomo turns the whole topic into a game you play five minutes a day, until it actually sticks.
For the part of you with thirty open tabs that never became anything.
20 levels across 4 sections, about 40 minutes end to end, roughly 8 days at five minutes a day. It moves through From Chatting to Doing, Managing Complex Workflows, Reliability and Control, and The Mechanics of Agency. It starts from scratch.

Key ideas in Building with Agentic AI
- Standard AI provides information based on a prompt
- Agentic AI takes responsibility for a multi-step outcome
- Agents can interact with external tools to finalize a result
- The agent first reasons about what to do next (Thought)
- The agent executes a command or uses a tool (Action)
- The agent looks at the result of that action to decide the next step (Observation)
- The fundamental shift from answering questions to achieving goals
- The 'Thought-Action-Observation' loop that drives agent behavior
- Simple automation follows a fixed path
- Autonomy is needed when the path changes
- Agents excel at fuzzy tasks
- The 'Thought-Action-Observation' loop
- A persona acts as a filter
- Identifying tasks that benefit from autonomy versus simple automation
- AI models are naturally 'text-in, text-out' and cannot touch other apps directly
- Tools act as the digital hands that allow an agent to execute commands in the real world
