Building Effective Agents with Pydantic AI

Building Effective Agents by Erik Schluntz and Barry Zhang of Anthropic is such a great introduction to agentic AI workflows - straightforward, down-to-earth, completely lacking in any mysticism or marketing speak.

The authors provide code examples, but I thought they could be made even clearer and simpler using Pydantic AI, the new agentic AI library/framework from the folks at Pydantic, emphasizing the use of structured outputs and keeping things simple and clear, leaving flow control to Python code.

The result doesn’t reveal much of the full power of Pydantic AI, but I think that it does serve as a good basic introduction to agentic AI workflows and their implementation.
