Artificial intelligence is on a rapid evolutionary track, and the once awe-inspiring conversational capabilities of ChatGPT raise very few eyebrows these days. AI developers are shifting into a higher gear, and these days, the focus is all about agents. They’re building more advanced AI systems that transform large language models into thinkers, decision-makers, and action-takers, which can automate many kinds of work.
To create an AI agent, the developer must assign an LLM to a specific role, assign it a clear goal to accomplish, and provide access to the necessary resources for the agent to fulfill its mission. When AI agents are focused on a clearly defined objective and can utilise APIs, web browsers, search engines, and databases as humans do, they can autonomously determine how to perform the assigned task.
