Updated on November 20, 2025 6 minutes read
Frequently Asked Questions
Are multi‑agent systems fully autonomous?
Not in most teams. High‑impact actions still pause for human‑in‑the‑loop approval.
Do I always need RAG?
No, but RAG raises reliability. It keeps answers tied to your sources.
Which framework should I start with?
Pick what fits your stack and goals. LangGraph favors graphs and durability; AG2 and CrewAI are quick to prototype; Microsoft’s stack fits Azure.
How do I measure success?
Track task success rate, human edit rate, latency, and cost per task. Use a small golden set and block merges when numbers slip.
Where can I learn the skills?
Build RAG, agents, and state machines in a mentor‑led track. Our Data Science & AI Bootcamp and Web Development Bootcamp both include hands‑on projects.
