Part 11: Implementation Frameworks

Overview

Understanding theory is one thing. Building systems is another.

This section covers the major frameworks used to build production agentic systems in 2025-2026.

How to Choose

LangGraph: If you need explicit state management
CrewAI: If you're building multi-agent teams
AutoGen: If conversation patterns work for your use case
Semantic Kernel: If you need enterprise integration
MCP: If you need tool standardization

Most production systems use multiple frameworks together.
