Jay Alammar's Illustrated Guide to AI Agents hits #1 on Amazon AI best sellers
JayAlammar · x · 2026-11-12
Jay Alammar (of Illustrated Transformer fame) and Maarten Gr's An Illustrated Guide to AI Agents has hit #1 on Amazon's AI best sellers list. The authors wrote it because agents have already changed how software gets built — and will soon change much knowledge work — so more people need the intuition the book builds.
How to get it:
- Full-color copy on Amazon
- Free PDF version available from the authors
- Accessible via the O'Reilly platform (many universities/companies have access)
Alammar also credits his Cohere colleagues and work on the open source North models for sharpening his thinking on agents.
