Agentic Mesh

Chapter 11. Interaction Management

A note for Early Release readers

With Early Release ebooks, you get books in their earliest form—the author’s raw and unedited content as they write—so you can take advantage of these technologies long before the official release of these titles.

This will be the 11th chapter of the final book. The GitHub repo will be made active later on.
