# Two of the best resources I've seen on building agentic AI. One from Manus, one from Anthropic.

Required reading. They are dense, practical guides from builders who have clearly felt the pain of agents going rogue and burning credits.

**Multi-Agent Research System (Anthropic)**

**Context Engineering for AI Agents (Manus)**

[Context Engineering for AI Agents](https://manus.im/blog/Context-Engineering-for-AI-Agents-Lessons-from-Building-Manus)

My own work offers a field guide for a specific use case: using agents for live databases (TEXT2SQL/ Natural Language-to-SQL). The full field guide and open-source apps are on my site: [www.tigzig.com](http://www.tigzig.com/)
