    Shows agent capabilities like saving notes and selecting the appropriate tool for each task.

Intermediate Python programming, including Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts, asynchronous execution, and handling external APIs.
Fundamental concepts of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), including text embeddings, vector databases, and similarity search.
Basic understanding of Large Language Models (LLMs), prompt engineering, and how LLMs interact with external environments via tool-calling.
Familiarity with structured data (such as SQL databases and JSON) versus unstructured data (such as PDFs and text files).
Designing and orchestrating multi-agent systems where multiple specialized agents collaborate using frameworks like LlamaIndex Workflows or CrewAI.
Implementing evaluation, observability, and monitoring tools (such as TruLens, Ragas, or Phoenix) to benchmark RAG and agent performance.
Advanced prompt-routing, query-transformation, and semantic re-ranking techniques to optimize retrieval accuracy in production-grade systems.
Deploying AI agents as scalable production microservices with persistent state, conversational memory, and security protocols for execution.

This tutorial demonstrates how to create an AI agent using Llama Index that can automatically select and utilize multiple data sources (structured CSV files and unstructured PDFs) along with custom functions to answer questions and perform tasks, showcasing the Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) approach where AI models leverage external data rather than relying solely on their training data.
