❓ Why I Wrote This Book? In the past two to three years, we've witnessed a revolution. First with ChatGPT, and now with autonomous AI agents. This is only the beginning. In the years ahead, AI will transform not only how we work but how we live. At the core of this transformation lies a single breakthrough technology: large language models (LLMs). That’s why I decided to write this book. This book explores what an LLM is, how it works, and how it develops its remarkable capabilities. It also shows how to put these capabilities into practice, like turning an LLM into the beating heart of an AI agent. Dissatisfied with the overly simplified or fragmented treatments found in many current books, I’ve aimed to provide both solid theoretical foundations and hands-on demonstrations. You'll learn how to build agents using LLMs, integrate technologies like retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and knowledge graphs, and explore one of today’s most fascinating frontiers: multi-agent systems. Finally, I’ve included a section on open research questions (areas where today’s models still fall short, ethical issues, doubts, and so on), and where tomorrow’s breakthroughs may lie. 🧠 Who is this book for? Anyone curious about LLMs, how they work, and how to use them effectively. Whether you're just starting out or already have experience, this book offers both accessible explanations and practical guidance. It's for those who want to understand the theory and apply it in the real world. 🛑 Who is this book not for? Those who dismiss AI as a passing fad or have no interest in what lies ahead. But for everyone else this book is for you. Because AI agents are no longer speculative. They’re real, and they’re here.

This masterpiece was published by Salvatore Raieli and Gabriele Iuculano, and it is available for orders from today, and it's already a 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫! While many resources focus on LLMs or basic agentic workflows, what makes this book stand out is its deep dive into grounding LLMs with real-world data and action through the powerful combination of 𝘙𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘭-𝘈𝘶𝘨𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘎𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 (𝘙𝘈𝘎) 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘒𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘭𝘦𝘥𝘨𝘦 𝘎𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘩𝘴. This isn't just about building Agents; it's about building AI that reasons, retrieves accurate information, and acts autonomously by leveraging structured knowledge alongside advanced LLMs. The book offers a practical roadmap, packed with concrete Python examples and real-world case studies, guiding you from concept to deployment of intelligent, robust, and hallucination-minimized AI solutions, even orchestrating multi-agent systems.

🎉🎉 🎉 "Knowledge Graphs Applied" becomes "Knowledge Graphs and LLMs in Action" Four years ago, we embarked on writing "Knowledge Graphs Applied" with a clear mission: to guide practitioners in implementing production-ready knowledge graph solutions. Drawing from our extensive field experience across multiple domains, we aimed to share battle-tested best practices that transcend basic use cases. Like fine wine, ideas, and concepts need time to mature. During these four years of careful development, we witnessed a seismic shift in the technological landscape. Large Language Models (LLMs) emerged not just as a buzzword, but as a transformative force that naturally converged with knowledge graphs.  This synergy unlocked new possibilities, particularly in simplifying complex tasks like unstructured data ingestion and knowledge graph-based question-answering. We couldn't ignore this technological disruption. Instead, we embraced it, incorporating our hands-on experience in combining LLMs with graph technologies. The result is "Knowledge Graphs and LLMs in Action" – a thoroughly revised work with new chapters and an expanded scope. Yet our fundamental goal remains unchanged: to empower you to harness the full potential of knowledge graphs, now enhanced by their increasingly natural companion, LLMs. This book represents the culmination of a journey that evolved alongside the technology itself. It delivers practical, production-focused guidance for the modern era, in which knowledge graphs and LLMs work in concert. Now available in MEAP, with new LLMs-focused chapters ready to be published. #llms #knowledgegraph #graphdatascience
