In just 75 minutes, you’ve transformed from understanding agent concepts to actually building and running your own AI agents. You’ve set up a complete development environment, created agents from scratch, experimented with different execution modes, and learned both Python code and YAML configuration approaches.This is no small feat. You've taken the critical step from theory to practice.
