Overview of this book

AI-Assisted Programming for Web and Machine Learning shows you how to build applications and machine learning models and automate repetitive tasks. Part 1 focuses on coding, from building a user interface to the backend. You’ll use prompts to create the appearance of an app using HTML, styling with CSS, adding behavior with JavaScript, and working with multiple viewports. Next, you’ll build a web API with Python and Flask and refactor the code to improve code readability. Part 1 ends with using GitHub Copilot to improve the maintainability and performance of existing code. Part 2 provides a prompting toolkit for data science from data checking (inspecting data and creating distribution graphs and correlation matrices) to building and optimizing a neural network. You’ll use different prompt strategies for data preprocessing, feature engineering, model selection, training, hyperparameter optimization, and model evaluation for various machine learning models and use cases. The book closes with chapters on advanced techniques on GitHub Copilot and software agents. There are tips on code generation, debugging, and troubleshooting code. You’ll see how simpler and AI-powered agents work and discover tool calling.

Introduction

This chapter will introduce you to the concept of agents in software development. We’ll cover what agents are, how they work, and how you can use them in your projects. We’ll also cover some of the most popular agents’ frameworks and how you can get started with them.

Let’s introduce the problems that agents can solve. The general idea is to have a program that can act on your behalf. Examples of this could be automating tasks, making decisions, and interacting with other agents and humans. Programs like these can save you time and make your life easier or your business more efficient.

In this chapter, we will do the following:

  • Introduce the concept of agents in software development.
  • Explain what agents are and how they work.
  • Discuss the different types of agents and how they can be used.
