What are Agents
0#machinelearning
What really defines an AI agent? In this video, we cut through the hype and break down the spectrum of autonomy in LLM-driven systems. We explore how modern AI agents range from fully autonomous systems (like AutoGPT) that plan and act independently, to explicitly scaffolded workflows where models follow rigid step-by-step instructions, all the way to passive RAG setups that lack any environmental interaction.
The key insight? "Autonomy" isn’t binary. Even scripted customer support bots that follow fixed API call sequences qualify as agents if they adapt within their constraints. We’ll compare real-world use cases, like healthcare workflows demanding predictability versus creative brainstorming tools needing flexibility, and discuss why most practical deployments land in the middle of the autonomy spectrum.
