What is an AI agent?
An AI agent is a system that receives an objective, decides on its own how to achieve it, uses tools to act on the real world, and self-corrects based on results. The difference from a simple chatbot? A chatbot waits for a question. An agent takes initiative.
Agent architecture: the artificial brain
An AI agent is composed of 4 essential blocks. Perception: it captures inputs — messages, data, emails, events. The LLM (brain): it reasons, plans and decides what to do. Memory: it retains short-term context (the conversation) and long-term (your client database, your preferences). And Actions: it executes — API calls, email sends, web searches, database writes.

The ReAct cycle: how the agent 'thinks'
Modern agents use the ReAct cycle (Reasoning + Acting). At each step: Thought — the agent thinks about what to do. Action — it executes a concrete action (calling an API, searching a database...). Observation — it analyses the result. And it starts again until the objective is reached. It's exactly like a human consultant: think, act, observe, adjust.

Multi-agents: when AIs collaborate
For complex tasks, multi-agent systems are used. An orchestrator receives the global objective and breaks it into sub-tasks. It delegates to specialised agents: the Research agent finds data, the Writer agent creates content, the Dev agent writes code, the Communication agent manages sends. Each is an expert in its field. Together, they accomplish tasks that would take a human days.
