What you'll learn
Understand the Deep Agent Architecture
Learn what makes a Deep Agent different and how the agent harness enables complex, long-running workflows.
Manage Context for Long-Running Agents
Use memory, skills, summarization, and context offloading to keep agents effective across extended tasks.
Build Agents That Delegate Work
Learn how Deep Agents use subagents and delegation to break complex problems into manageable tasks.
Why this topic matters
Most agents today work well on short, simple tasks but struggle when work becomes longer and more complex. Deep Agents introduce the building blocks needed to go further: planning, memory, context management, delegation, and execution. These patterns help developers build agents that can handle real-world workflows more reliably.
