About 5-day LLM agents roadmap
The 5-Day AI Agents Roadmap is a structured learning plan from the awesome-generative-ai-guide repository. It guides learners from the fundamental concept of an AI agent to building, evaluating, and shipping a working agent over five days, with each day requiring about 2 to 3 hours. The roadmap is updated for 2026 and covers the core agent loop (Plan-Act-Observe), tool use and function calling, context management, memory and planning, the Model Context Protocol (MCP), multi-agent systems, and evaluation/observability. All linked resources are free and include video courses, articles, and guides from Hugging Face, DeepLearning.AI, and other sources.
