Published: 2025 Reading Time: 6 hours | Difficulty Level: Moderate

Executive Summary

Salvatore Raieli's Building Al Agents with LLMs, RAG, and Knowledge Graphs offers a hands-on, practical guide to constructing intelligent Al agents by integrating large language models (LLMs), retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and knowledge graphs. The book's core thesis centers on the synergy of these cutting-edge technologies to create autonomous Al agents capable of sophisticated reasoning, contextual understanding, and dynamic knowledge retrieval. Raieli, drawing on his expertise in Al and software engineering, bridges the gap between theoretical Al concepts and real-world applications. This book stands out by focusing not only on LLMs but also on how to enhance their capabilities with structured knowledge graphs and RAG techniques, providing a comprehensive framework for building next-generation Al systems. For leaders and decision-makers, the book demystifies complex Al architectures and offers actionable insights into deploying Al agents that can improve business processes, customer interactions, and decision support systems.
