Building Scalable AI Agents: Chirag Agrawal Reveals How
Engineering the Future of AI with Chirag Agrawal: Context, Memory and CoordinationArtificial 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.
