AI Agents and Autonomy
AI agents are systems that use large language models to reason, plan, and execute tasks autonomously.
Components of an Agent
- Planning: The ability to break down a complex goal into smaller, actionable steps.
- Memory: Storing and retrieving information from past interactions or external sources.
- Tool Use: The ability to call external APIs, run code, or search the web to gather information or perform actions.
Use Cases
- Automated Research: Searching the web and summarizing findings.
- Customer Support: Handling complex multi-step inquiries without human intervention.
- Software Development: Writing, testing, and debugging code based on high-level requirements.
