    Stop building blind. If you’ve ever built with LLMs, you know the pain of not knowing what’s eating your context. This remote MCP server from Exa fixes that: It plugs directly into coding assistant and lets you see everything happening inside your context. On top of: - performing real-time web searches and content extraction. - comprehensive company research tool that crawls company websites - other deep research and crawling tasks It also lets you: - see token usage breakdowns so you instantly know what’s bloating your context window. - visualizes your entire context: system prompts, memory files, messages, and MCP tools. - displays memory and file contexts with exact token counts.

    If you want to break into AI Engineering, use these 5 SDKs to make your portfolio stand out 👇 This is the stack that will help you build real-world Agentic AI applications to get hired or funded! Use them wisely. 1. Claude Agents SDK The backbone of Claude Code. Build real, production-grade CLI agents with memory, tools, and error handling baked in. 2. Stagehand SDK Trending browser automation SDK built for production-grade computer agents. 3. Vercel AI SDK The most popular TypeScript toolkit that powers 80% of full-stack AI applications on the web. 4. OpenAI Agent Kit OpenAI’s new integrated agent stack: design workflows visually, version agents, embed UIs, manage connectors & guardrails. 5. Mastra Up-and-coming TypeScript-first agent framework with built-in workflows, tools, RAG, observability, and evals. Whatever you do, focus on the user problem first. Only THEN leverage these tools to stand out. #AppliedAI

    Before this bootcamp, I didn't know how to build AI agents. Today, my first MCP server(iOS UI Testing) has 24 GitHub stars 🚀🔥 I knew MCP meant "Model Context Protocol" RAG was "Retrieval Augmented Generation" That's it. But actually building something from scratch? No clue. 🤷 Was randomly looking for courses when Meri's 7 day free course caught my attention. As a curious compounding person, I didn't think twice - joined The Agent Engineering Bootcamp with Meri Nova and Hai N. ⚡ [June - July Batch] No fluff, no recordings. Hai would code live daily - debugging, architecting, explaining the WHY 💡 Watching him wasn't just helpful, it rewired how I think about building AI systems. TA's available for when you hit roadblocks - real help, not just "check the docs" 💪 We built everything from scratch: - MCP servers (how AI agents talk to multiple tools) - RAG systems (making agents actually smart with your data) - Agent memory (so they remember context, short-term & long-term) - Tool use & evals (making them reliable) 🔨 Weekly sessions with the founders 🚀 - Leo Paz - Outlit (YC W25) - Chris Bartholomew - Vectorize - Dustin Pulver - Tavily - Freddie Vargus - Quotient AI sharing what actually works at scale. Cherry on top 🤯 My capstone project? 24 stars, 4 forks ⭐ Meri promised a LinkedIn shoutout for the students who completed homework on time && built an MCP from scratch. Got mine. The accountability in this cohort is real 🔥 🔥 🔥 From knowing "MCP = Model Context Protocol" to deploying MCP servers. Real iOS automation with Appium + WebDriverAgent + Multiple Tool calls. 📱 Meri and Hai didn't just teach theory - they transformed how we can build 10x faster with AI, no BS 🎯 Do you know? Their next cohort starts in 3 days. If you've been stuck in tutorial hell, this is your chance to break through. While others google "what is MCP," you'll be building it. ⏰ Can't promise you GitHub stars, but you'll walk away knowing how to actually build real AI systems, not just read about them.

    Agent engineering isn't CrewAI. Agent engineering isn't LangGraph. Agent engineering isn't OpenAI's SDK. Agent engineering isn't Pydantic AI or AutoGen. Agent engineering isn't about MCPs or A2A. Agent engineering isn't about tools. It's about knowing the difference between workflows and agents. And knowing when to use which. Don’t get distracted by tools. Start with the problem first. Most of the time, a workflow gets the job done. Save agents for when your system needs to reason and make decisions on its own, rather than just following if/else statements. If you want to learn more, join my first live session on building full-stack agentic apps tomorrow: https://lnkd.in/dDJcjYwd See other workshops in the comments. 👇

    I can't believe nobody is talking about this now. 🤯 We can finally connect AI agents to the frontend! Without writing custom code for EVERY. SINGLE. PROJECT. I can’t tell you how many times I saw brilliant AI engineers waste weeks or even months building custom connectors between their AI agents and their frontend. The worst part? Each time they switch agent frameworks? They have to start from scratch. That's why AG-UI is such a revelation. How does it actually work? AG-UI is an event-based protocol that allows any agent to speak with any frontend: * The agent emits events in one of 16 standardized event types * A clever middleware layer handles transport compatibility (SSE, WebSockets, whatever you need) * Frontend libraries (like their React client) know exactly how to interpret these events It's like having a universal translator between your agent and UI. Your LangGraph agent can talk to a React frontend today, and if you switch to CrewAI tomorrow? No problem - everything still works. What makes this truly brilliant is how they've managed to standardize powerful capabilities that used to require custom code: * Real-time streamed responses with delta updates * Dynamic UI generation from your agent * Bidirectional state synchronization * Frontend tool calling that actually works The AG-UI team has been quietly working with major frameworks (LangGraph, Mastra, CrewAI, AG2) to ensure compatibility out-of-the-box. ⏰ Want to learn more? Check out a 45-min hands-on workshop on Sept 6th: You will build directly with the founding engineer, Michael, from Copilotkit!

    This is the easiest time in history to become an AI engineer. 10 years ago, breaking into AI meant PhDs, CS degrees, and closed access to research labs. Not anymore. In 2025: need skills? → Free courses on Coursera, Kaggle, YouTube need a portfolio? → Contribute to YC startups’ open-source projects on GitHub need datasets? → Hugging Face, academic repos, Kaggle need a job? → Ship agentic systems with Vercel AI SDK, LangGraph need to code? → Build and learn faster with Claude Code + Cursor need community? → Jump into Discords, Reddit, and Twitter threads AI isn’t locked behind Ivy League schools or MAANG doors anymore. All you need is curiosity, persistence, and internet access. 👉 And if you’re serious about building the most in-demand skills in AI. Join a 3-part live workshop series on the same day, on Sept 6th: - How to Build Full-Stack Agentic Systems in 2025 Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/gTmwsSHu - Bringing Agents to the Frontend (with Michael) Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/g3j_FUGX - Advanced Context Engineering (with Dexter) Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/gHw2_8pa Register for each session separately to get the slides and the recordings!

    If you're serious about becoming an AI engineer in 2025, stop obsessing over AI Agents. Focus on software engineering skills instead! Because the truth is: Agents aren’t some magical standalone abstraction. They’re just code + prompts sitting inside a larger system. You still need to learn how to build: - API orchestration - Frontend + Backend - Routing logic and fallbacks - Long-term memory with vector + relational DBs - Evaluation loops and observability and so much more that's not just "AI" The people getting hired right now aren’t prompt engineers. They’re software engineers who know how to use LLMs inside real products. You don’t need more AI tutorials. You need SWE skills. That’s why our AI Engineering Bootcamp focuses on full-stack workflows, not only Agents and RAG. You’ll code live 5 days a week with Hai, a senior full-stack engineer. Every Monday, you demo and get feedback that drives progress. Every Wednesday, get unblocked with the TA office hours. Every Friday, dive deep with industry experts on real agentic use cases. The goal is to help you build something you will be extremely proud to share with the world. Don't chase AI hype. Ship it. 🚢 Get your seat here, while they last: https://lnkd.in/gTGBwUc2 First 10 people who use code "LABORDAY" will get $500 OFF.
