A free architecture catalog for AI builders

Design AI agents with patterns you can inspect, compare and apply

Move from an architecture question to an implementation plan with a connected library of agent patterns, techniques, use cases and interactive examples. Go Pro when you need guided practice and compute-backed tools.

No account or payment details required to browse the catalog.

BUILT FOR THE WORK AROUND THE MODEL

Learn the idea, inspect the trade-offs, then test your approach#

Useful for AI engineers, architects and technical leads choosing how an agent should reason, use tools and fail safely.

Choose an architecture#

Start from the problem, then compare patterns, trade-offs, implementation techniques and concrete use cases.

Build durable understanding#

Follow structured learning journeys with theory, quizzes and practical challenges. Each journey has a free opening chapter.

Evaluate before you ship#

Use the Prompt Optimizer, Eval Lab and guided red-team workflow to examine behavior beyond the happy path.

Start with the library. Pay when the tools save you work.#

The core catalog remains available without a subscription. Pro adds the structured practice and compute-backed workflows used to go deeper.

FREE

Explore and understand#

  • Browse the complete pattern and technique catalog

  • Inspect use cases, implementation notes and interactive demos

  • Try the opening chapter of every learning journey

  • Run sandboxed code in Python, TypeScript and Rust

PRO

Practice, evaluate and run#

  • Complete every learning journey, quiz and code challenge

  • Use Prompt Optimizer and Eval Lab workflows
