Two free books, meant to be read in order. The first assumes nothing: what large language models are, what an AI agent is, and how one plans, uses tools and works alongside others. The second answers the question that follows immediately: how to prove an agent is ready for production, and make a release decision you can defend to an auditor.
How AI Agents Work, Collaborate, and Act
A plain-English introduction to AI agents: what large language models actually do, how an agent plans and uses tools, how several agents collaborate, and what changes when one is allowed to act. Seventeen chapters, worked examples, and a full chapter on responsible use. Self-contained — it does not assume Volume 1.

An End-to-End Guide to Evaluating, Governing, and Releasing AI Agents with ProofAgent
A practical field guide to deciding whether an AI agent is ready for production — how to evaluate its behavior, score its context, turn requirements into testable controls, and make a release decision you can defend to an auditor.
