AI Agents: Beyond the Chatbot

Notes and experiments on building and using AI agents—autonomous entities that use Large Language Models (LLMs) to perform tasks, use tools, and interact with the world.

What are AI Agents?

Unlike a standard chatbot that simply responds to a prompt, an AI agent is designed to:

  1. Reason: Break down a complex goal into smaller, actionable steps.
  2. Use Tools: Access external data, run code, or interact with APIs.
  3. Persist: Maintain state or memory across multiple steps to achieve a long-term goal.

This section covers the protocols, frameworks, and patterns that make these agents possible.
