    Building Scalable AI Agents: Chirag Agrawal Reveals How

    Engineering the Future of AI with Chirag Agrawal: Context, Memory and Coordination Artificial Intelligence isn’t just getting smarter—it’s learning to coordinate. In this episode, Chirag Agrawal joins Dietmar Fischer to unpack how modern AI agents handle context, memory, and decision-making inside complex multi-agent systems. Together they explore how engineering, orchestration, and memory-sharing shape the next generation of AI architecture. 📧💌📧Tune in to get my thoughts and all episodes—don’t forget to ⁠⁠subscribe to our Newsletter⁠⁠: ⁠beginnersguide.nl⁠📧💌📧 You’ll hear how Chirag’s fascination with search led him to build early prototypes of intelligent assistants, and how today’s LLM agents extend that idea far beyond simple queries. He explains why AI isn’t one giant super-brain but a constellation of specialized agents—each performing specific tasks with shared or isolated memory—and how this design mirrors human collaboration. 🔑 Key Takeaways Why AI orchestration and context management are crucial for scalable systems The trade-offs between shared memory and independent agents What engineers mean by the ReAct Loop—reasoning and acting in tandem How multi-agent coordination is reshaping industries from healthcare to compliance Why the “AI supercomputer” myth ignores practical limits of context windows 💬 Quotes from the Episode “AI is just a higher form of search—it’s about finding the right action, not just information.” “Agents behave inhuman until you engineer context for them.” “Specialization in AI works the same way it does for people—each agent should do one thing really well.” “Coordination isn’t magic; it’s careful engineering.” “Context makes intelligence usable.” “A well-defined agent doesn’t need to do everything—it needs to do its one job perfectly.” ⏱️ Podcast Chapters 00:00 Welcome and Introduction 01:45 Chirag Agrawal’s Early Fascination with Search and AI 04:40 From Search Engines to “Find” Engines – How AI Takes Action 07:10 The Rise of AI Agents and Multi-Agent Systems 10:15 Why AI Agents Sometimes Behave “Inhuman” 13:30 Context, Memory, and Coordination: The Core Engineering Challenges 18:00 Shared vs. Isolated Memory – The Hive Mind Dilemma 22:30 Why We Need Many Agents, Not One Super-Computer 27:00 How the ReAct Loop Helps Agents Think and Act 30:40 Industries Adopting AI Agents: Compliance, Medicine, and Law 34:30 When AI Goes Off-Road – The Limits of Coordination 37:15 Building Responsible, Constrained Agents 40:10 The Future of AI and Why the Terminator Scenario Won’t Happen 42:20 Where to Find Chirag Agrawal & Closing Thoughts 🌐 Where to Find the Chirag Agrawal LinkedIn 🧑🏽‍🦱 linkedin.com/in/chirag-agrawalWebsite ➡️ ⁠chiraga.io⁠ 🎵 Music credit: “Modern Situations” by Unicorn Heads
