OpenAI Agents SDK Tutorial: Build an Agent in Python (2026)
Sukhveer Kaur · Jul 4, 2026 · 6 min
// Choose your path
Two Python-agent series. They’re not a choice — they’re a sequence.
Start with Foundations if you’re new — build an agent by hand, no framework. Move to Production once the basics click. Pick by where you are right now.
1Level 1Foundations — build it by hand
→2Level 2Production — ship a real one
★ Start here
01Beginner · Foundations
AI Agents from Scratch in Python
Build a working agent with nothing but Python and one LLM call — no frameworks, so you actually understand the loop.
Start here if you…
are new to agents, or want to know how one actually works before reaching for a framework.
- Length
- 6 parts (00–05)
- Approach
- Pure Python + a raw LLM call
- Prereq
- Can read basic Python (Part 0 teaches it)
- You'll build
- Your own agent loop — tools, reasoning, memory — by hand
02Intermediate · Production
Agentic AI in Python: Zero to Production
Take a real agent all the way to a deployed, observable service using LangGraph — state, tools, memory, and shipping.
Start here if you…
already get the basics (or finished Level 1) and want to ship something production-grade.
- Length
- 7 parts (01–07)
- Approach
- LangGraph + deploy & observability
- Prereq
- Comfortable with agent fundamentals
- You'll build
- A real agentic app, deployed as an observable service

Review · 7 minOpenRouter Review (2026): One API, 300+ Models — Worth It?Weighed against its own fee schedule, live pricing data, and real developer reports, the verdict is clear — OpenRouter is the fastest way to use every major LLM behind one API, as long as you know exactly where the 5.5% fee bites and where support falls short.Sukhveer Kaur · Jul 3, 2026Guide · 5 minBest n8n Alternatives for AI Agents (2026)Seven honest n8n alternatives for 2026, sorted by what you actually need — the closest hosted swap, the best open-source option, the biggest integration library, and the most AI-agent-native builders.Sukhveer Kaur · Jun 28, 2026Review · 5 minn8n Review (2026): Best No-Code AI Agent Builder?After building agents on n8n across cloud and self-hosted, the verdict is clear — it's the most capable low-code AI agent builder in 2026, as long as you can handle the learning curve and the debugging.Sukhveer Kaur · Jun 27, 2026Comparison · 7 minCursor vs Claude Code (2026): Which Should You Use?Cursor and Claude Code aren't fighting for the same job. One is an AI code editor you drive; the other is a terminal agent that drives itself. Here's how they differ on workflow, pricing, and token efficiency — and why the real answer is often "both."Sukhveer Kaur · Jun 27, 2026

Here's the data, why Gartner's "context mesh" is a different idea entirely, and the narrow cases where a controlled mesh still wins.Navmeet Kaur · Jul 4, 2026Guide · 5 minAgent Orchestration Patterns: A 2026 GuideThe five agent orchestration patterns (supervisor, hierarchical, sequential, parallel, swarm), why the supervisor wins in 2026, what multi-agent really costs, and when a single agent was the right call all along.Navmeet Kaur · Jun 26, 2026Guide · 4 minAI Control Plane Architecture: A 2026 GuideAn AI control plane is the layer that governs agents rather than doing their work.
