We are not talking just chatbots - albeit more intelligent ones!
An AI agent/assistant can be tasked to do specific things to reach a goal and work with other agents, either in parallel, or sequential (i.e. do all these things first, then does this).
The cool thing is each AI agent can use a completely different model i.e. you don’t have to tie everything into just chatGPT/Open AI. You might find a different model or model sets beneficial for certain things.
Also, the big component is a mix of RAG (retrieval augmented generation), goal setting and external “tools” or functions where you can call out to external systems.
I will be creating a video (Just Fifteen Mins! as if I ever stick to any timeline!) to explain a few of these concepts in more details. I am also going to be creating a workshop course too! not overly technical, but mostly from a business perspective about the concepts and how they could benefit companies. Again, we are not talking just fancy chatbots!
Until next time, take care everyone!
