Build AI Agents in Go Without Frameworks: A Tutorial

This tutorial demonstrates how to build an AI agent in Go without relying on external frameworks or SDKs. The core concept of an AI agent is presented as a loop: prompt a model, process its response which may include tool requests, execute those tools, and feed the results back into the conversation. The guide provides full Go source code, detailing the JSON structure required for the Anthropic Messages API and explaining the setup process, including API key configuration. It highlights Go's suitability for agent runtimes due to its concurrency features and ease of deployment. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates a lightweight approach to building AI agents, potentially reducing reliance on complex frameworks.
