What are AI Agents?

[@ShreyanshAI]

Thanks for amazing video. I have been building agents for last few weeks. And if anyone is just planning to start building agents here’s my starter kit frameworks - langchain, llamaindex, crewai LLMs - claude, openai & ollama tools - composio memory - mem0, memgpt logging & caching - langsmith, helicone

[@cobrito6533]

This is by far the best explanation of what exactly an AI agent is.

It's a good video. I just don't really feel like it's worth my time and effort to create something like that. I am more interested in Biotech.I know that I would be likely to use it and benefit from it, but it's a pea in the pod or 1 small part of a larger entity.

I'm not an IT person by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm encountering this technology more and more in my development of a Media Asset Management system for our non-profit media organization. The software products leveraging AI and agents is exploding into our field of view, and this explanation was very helpful. You're helping me anticipate questions and critiques to apply to vendors offering new products.

I don't care much about the content but am impressed is how she can write in a backward mirror image. That takes skill !!

Maybe the video was initially recorded normally then they flipped it around to making seem like she’s writing back to front. Either that. Or she is just truly skilled at writing backwards👍🏾

[@muhammadhilal5807]

It was the best high-level explanation of AI Agents by assign the LLM as incharge, and, also highlighting the programatic approach of Compound AI Systems. And the example which concrete the logic of how AI Agents would be doing the complex tasks.

[@nasimobeid2945]

Very useful. Thanks! I am doing my PhD research on the possibility of integrating Agentic AI into RPA. It cleared a lot of things to how to tackle it

[@emont]

RPA is very programmatic way, you have to change all base line of robotics to agentic concepts to adapt it. Prolog had modules or routines to integrate programmatic into learning inference process, so RPA outputs might be integrated into AI agents.

AI agents are transforming various industries by automating tasks, enhancing decision-making, and providing personalized experiences. With their ability to analyze vast amounts of data, adapt to new information, and interact with users in natural ways, AI agents are becoming integral to advancing technology and improving efficiency across sectors. As they continue to evolve, their potential to drive innovation and solve complex problems expands, offering exciting opportunities for the future.

I went to school using black boards with chalk. They are quarried from slate carefully mounted to the wall of classrooms. Blackboards got replaced by white dry erase boards. Also used with projectors. Large touch monitors became all the rage. This is my first look at a illuminated rear mirrored clear board. Another cat’s meow…

Fantastic Maya! Your detailed explanation of the shift from monolithic AI models to modular, compound AI systems is enlightening. It's fascinating to see how the integration of LLMs with agent-based systems can enhance adaptability and enable more dynamic interactions across various applications. I'm especially intrigued by the 'ReAct' framework, Combining Reason, Action, and Access memory-as a means to boost AI's adaptability and autonomy. Looking forward to more insights on this topic! With the Rise of AI Agents in 2024, the Age of 'Jarvis' is on the horizon 🤖

[@ravi0389]

One of the best explanations ever seen in internet.. Thank you so much for taking your time

[@AnubhavChhabra]

Agents would still be bound by the tools that you make them aware of. So essentially, your agent can only do the tasks that you have written the code for (tools). The LLM based agents would exploit their knowledge about the tools and try to connect them all together, that's what the main USP is. Knowing all the available tools and then sticking these tools together in a variety of ways.

[@VanCliefMedia]

Absolutely! The focus of multi agent systems will be the major need. Ensuring large context can be narrowed and integrated into systems unlocks so much potential. Our software is solving the problems with multi agent group chat productivity environments and I really believe going from the chainsaw of AI to the scalpel is the future 👌

Great explanation of AI Agents! I love working with them and seeing them reason issues.

[@henryjraymondiii961]

According to IBM, an artificial intelligence (AI) agent is a system or program capable of autonomously performing tasks on behalf of a user or another system. These agents design their workflows and utilize available tools to achieve their goals. AI agents can handle a wide range of functionalities, including decision-making, problem-solving, interacting with external environments, and executing actions. They are often built on large language models (LLMs) and can adapt to user expectations over time, providing a personalized experience. AI agents are used in various applications, from software design and IT automation to code-generation tools and conversational assistants.

The best advantage of agents is the ability to check and verify each llm output, in addition to querying your leave balance, it can also query your leave entitlement, and how many leave days have been used up, to compare. This will take the accuracy of AI systems from 75% to 99.95%.

[@MelonHusk7]

This was actually very useful.

[@markuaunyong929]

We all know that AI operates on massive amounts of data from the crowd and follows the commands we input. What if we divided the AI's brain mechanism into three main parts: 1. Random real data (instead of waiting for human input), 2. Correcting random data, saving corrections, and looping (similar to the body's immune system remembering how to eliminate pathogens), and 3. Genetic code (the defined behaviors and rules of AI)? For example, humans have different personalities. Some are born perfect, intelligent, and cheerful, while others are aggressive. (To create behaviors that lead to progress and safety, we can remove negative traits, similar to genetic engineering.) For instance, greed leads to decline, aggression and anger lead to violence, and delusion or stupidity hinder progress. In summary, we can remove these three emotions. (Expected outcome) Create errors and successes for AI to learn from various error data through looping, memorization, and self-improvement, similar to human behavior that seeks self-development. In conclusion, to create AI that closely resembles humans, we need to integrate the brain mechanism and the crowd. Comparing the crowd to clear water and the brain mechanism to red color, when we combine them, we get red water. AI brain: Red water.

"If we were to design the system to solve this, I'd have to give the **model** access to the database..." We should refrain from using formulations like that because that implicates too much autonomy on model side. The actual data base access would happen on server side. The model would solely only make a suggestion.
