What is an ai agent

An agent is just software thats powered by an **LLM ** or SLM which has access to tools which can perform some action, get the weather, check availability of a product, make reservations and etc. Agents can also have roles (ex and assistant, a teacher, a shopper) ,

Agents also have memory and can maintain context within the memory. Basically they can have a window where they keep track of previous tasks and conversation within that window which are saved in memory to give more context about the prompts or actions it has taken action for.

You can think of Agents as workers that with the right tool (used to perform an action) and brain (language models).

These workers (Agents) can reason about the task use the appropriate tools and iterate until it comes to a solution of the task.
