An AI agent is a system with four moving parts. Once you can name those parts and see how they connect, the technology stops being a black box and starts being a tool you can evaluate with the same operational judgment you apply to every other decision in your business.That sentence is the entire premise of AI Agent Foundations — and the layer missing from almost everything else written on the topic.The current state of AI agent education has a sequencing problem. It teaches building before it teaches understanding. Tutorials walk you through which buttons to click. Demos show what's possible. LinkedIn cycles through tool recommendations week after week. What none of it does is explain what an AI agent actually is at the architectural level — what makes one work, what makes one fail, and why the answer to "which platform should I use" depends on questions nobody is teaching you to ask.This book puts the missing layer back. Written for established business operators — not developers, not side hustlers — it walks through what AI agents are, how they decide and act, and how to choose the right one for the work already in front of you.Inside, you'll learn:The Agent Logic Model — the four components (Reasoning Core, Tool Layer, Memory System, Orchestration Logic) that every AI agent runs on, regardless of platform. Learn them once and you have a portable lens for evaluating tools that haven't launched yet.The Selection Framework — the four questions to ask before building any agent, including when a problem actually calls for one and when a simpler automation will handle the job better.A tool-agnostic landscape map — ChatGPT agents, Claude, n8n, Make, Zapier, and the developer tier organized into clear categories with honest reads on what each does well and where each falls short.A complete no-code build — your first agent walked through end to end, with every decision (goal, instructions, tools, tests) mapped back to the architecture you already understand.©2026 Blackstone Publications (P)2026 Blackstone Publications Computer Science Entrepreneurship Small Business & Entrepreneurship
