simonwillison.netAn 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

AI is aggregated human intelligence. So it’s better to call it collective intelligence than artificial intelligence.
Emphasizing the collectivity (something built on the commons) over the artificiality (a feat of technology) gives us an entire new way to see, perceive and relate to the technology.

Nearly all popular consumer software has been trending towards minimal user agency, infinitely scrolling feeds, and garbage content.
