The companion guide to the reel. Page 1: the direct link — github.com/microsoft/ai-agents-for-beginners — no signup, no paywall; every lesson is a folder with the chapter, the video and a runnable Python sample. Page 2: all 18 lessons mapped and clickable, grouped into Foundations (1-3), The Patterns (4-9) and Shipping (10-18), with the fast path (1 → 2 → 4 → 5) and the two starred lessons from the video: Lesson 4 Tool Use (the agent stops chatting and starts doing) and Lesson 5 Agentic RAG (an agent that answers from your own files). Page 3: the 3-week plan at six lessons a week, plus three rules for actually finishing — including the classic first build after Lesson 5: an agent that reads your notes folder and answers questions about it. Honest note included: the code samples lean on Microsoft’s stack, but the concepts transfer to every agent framework. Independent guide from Hyperautomation Labs.
