OpenAI Agents SDK : A Hands-On Guide to Building Autonomous Agents with OpenAI's Language Models

Ready to build real-world, intelligent, and fully autonomous AI agents?
This book is your practical roadmap to mastering the OpenAI Agents SDK—the most powerful toolset for developers working with GPT-4, function calling, and AI agent workflows.
Whether you're a machine learning engineer, automation developer, or AI hobbyist, this guide will teach you how to go from basic API calls to designing multi-step, tool-enabled, and context-aware autonomous agents using OpenAI’s latest SDK.

What You’ll Learn

• How to build AI agents using the OpenAI Agents SDK with step-by-step examples.
• How to use OpenAI function calling, memory, and tools to create truly useful agents.
• Architecting autonomous AI systems with robust workflows and intelligent decision-making.
• Integrating with LangGraph, n8n automation, external APIs, databases, and productivity tools.
• Fine-tuning prompts, handling agent memory, managing token costs, and scaling to production.
• Connecting LLM agents with OpenAI Gym-style environments for simulated intelligence tasks.
• Best practices for designing autonomous AI, including ethical and secure deployment.

Technologies Covered

• OpenAI Agents SDK
• GPT-4 / GPT-4 Turbo / GPT-4o
• OpenAI API & SDK
• LangGraph
• OpenAI function calling
• OpenAI tools and memory
• RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)
• n8n workflows
• Agent orchestration and workflow design
• LLM agents in real-world systems

Who This Book Is For

• AI Developers and LLM Engineers
• Automation Builders using n8n or LangGraph
• Technical Founders & Product Builders
• Machine Learning Engineers & MLOps Practitioners
• Anyone looking to build hands-on, intelligent agents with OpenAI SDK

Why This Book Stands Out
Unlike theory-heavy books, this guide is fully hands-on, project-based, and focused on real-world implementation. You’ll build actual agents—from customer support bots and workflow automators to research assistants and multi-agent systems—all powered by the latest OpenAI capabilities.
