Summary

OpenAI’s practical guide for product and engineering teams building their first agents. It defines an agent as an LLM-driven system that independently executes workflows, sets out the three foundations of model, tools and instructions, and compares single-agent orchestration with the manager and decentralized multi-agent patterns. It closes with a layered treatment of guardrails and of planning for human intervention.
