DNA of an AI Agent: Inside Strand's Model-Driven SDK

In this Deep Dive episode we unpack Strand's Agents, an open-source SDK that puts the model in the driver’s seat. We break down the three core ingredients—model, tools, and prompt—and walk through the agentic loop where the LLM plans, decides, and acts. Learn why Strand's was built to eliminate boilerplate, accelerate production-ready agents, and scale from local prototyping to real deployments. We'll cover model support, tool interfaces (MCP), the add_tool decorator, and real-world usage like AWS Q Developer, AWS Glue, and VPC Reachability Analyzer, plus tips for building and iterating quickly.
