AI Agents in Software

Adding reasoning capability to software

Hey, hey, I've been away for a bit, focusing on training and racing the London Marathon, yet I haven't stopped writing. In fact, I launched a new blog about my running journey. You can check it out

Now, back to our shared passion for software engineering. Recently, both professionally and personally, I've been exploring AI Agents. Let me explain what these are.

AI Agents are software programs equipped with data access, algorithms, reasoning, and conversational abilities. They dynamically interact with their environment and its inputs to autonomously perform tasks and achieve specific goals.

AI Agents can be classified based on their functionality, the complexity of tasks they handle, and the environment in which they operate. Here’s a list of common types of AI Agents:

Reactive Agents

Description: Reactive agents operate based on the current status, ignoring any previous history. They directly link their current state to actions and are designed to respond to specific situations.
