100 Agents in 100 Days

Planned series — implementing AI agents and AI-enabled applications with Astrocyte.

Each day adds one focused tutorial or example: runnable demos, integration patterns, and production-minded snippets. First we maintain a working catalog of use cases (consumer and enterprise). Daily tutorials will be chosen from this list and linked below as they ship.

What to expect

Agent patterns (tool use, multi-step flows) with durable memory via Astrocyte
Pairings with the reference REST server where it helps
Occasional deep links into the plugin SPIs and design docs

Use case catalog (before Day 1)

This section is the backlog for the series—not a commitment to order. Items are grouped so we can rotate across domains (productivity, home, commerce, support, risk, engineering, etc.) and cover different agent shapes (single-turn Q&A, tool loops, scheduled jobs, human-in-the-loop).

How this turns into 100 days

Pick one row per day (or merge two thin rows into a richer tutorial). The combined catalog is intentionally >100 numbered rows (consumer 1–49; enterprise 50–120) so we can swap domains when a dependency lands (e.g., REST hardening, identity plugin).
Tag each tutorial by agent shape: reactive chat, scheduled job, tool loop with approvals, multi-agent handoff, or offline batch.
Enterprise days should link to identity and policy docs when touching PII or regulated flows.

Start today

While Day 1 is being prepared:

Introduction — scope, Python/Rust layout, and reading paths
Quick Start — install core + run Compose
Production-grade HTTP — checklist for operating behind an API

Series hub: add new days as pages under docs/_tutorials/ and link them from this document, or organize by day-01-*.md, day-02-*.md, as you publish.
