An agent can be thought of as a logical wrapper around an LLM, allowing us to add several features to our AI systems, primarily:
- Tool usage, such as calling APIs for info, executing code,
- Internal thoughts over multiple generation steps
- Ability to use various tools and reasoning steps to answer more complex queries.
- Parallel agents can go and complete

Agentic workflows are loops —they can run many times in a row without needing a human involved for each step in the task. A language model will make a plan based on your prompt, utilize tools like a web browser to execute on that plan, ask itself if that answer is right, and close the loop by getting back to you with that answer. If you ask, “What ... See more
