Jay Alammar released An Illustrated Guide to AI Agents, featuring 330+ figures. He highlights Figure 1-20 as the most important: it maps what today's LLM-based agents are composed of — including their user and environment loops — and doubles as the table of contents for Part 1 (Agent Fundamentals). Available on Amazon, O'Reilly, and as a PDF e-book.
