Build methodology of AI agents
Now that we understand an AI agent conceptually and its practical applications, we will discuss the anatomy of an AI agent as well as explain the step-by-step approach to designing and building them. Understanding this anatomy will help us design and implement agents systematically, so we can ensure each component is accounted for and functioning properly.
Anatomy of an AI agent
AI agents follow a typical pattern and can be broken down into three fundamental components. Specifically, the anatomy of an AI agent comprises the following:
- Model: This is the brain of the operations. It interprets input, reasons about actions, and generates outputs. Typically, this is an LLM with system instructions and a control logic framework that enables it to reason and iterate.
- Tooling interface: This is the hands and eyes. It provides the agent with the ability to act, such as sending emails or searching...
