My TL;DR about agents
🔗 Watch this https://youtu.be/oP6DS_x5K0Y?si=pTzcxmaBR2yIqebC
At the heart of agentic AI are autonomous agents that can:
- Perceive: Interpret input from the environment.
- Plan: Generate strategies to achieve goals.
- Act: Execute actions and interact with the world.
- Learn: Improve decisions based on feedback.
Basically, AI agent wraps LLM with a few components:
- Tools - to act, external capabilities to perform some action other than just generating some text (eg. web search, call APIs, run code in a sandbox, send email), mostly MCP tools. Tool = brain.
- Memory - to remember things, long term memory, because agent cannot remember everything in 1 context window (context window = short term memory)
- Reasoning and planning loop - to get the task done, turns LLM into agent with continuous cycle, agent breaks big task into small sub-tasks (simulating thinking system #2 from "Thinking fast and slow"). The loop of "reAct": think → act → observe → repeat.
- Perception - the ability to see and hear environment by monitoring chat/database/website.
AGENT = LLM + Planning + Memory + Tools
Remember: the most important component is reasoning loop 🔥 which is a continuous loop of thinking and acting.
