AI Agent
An AI agent is an autonomous system that uses LLMs to reason, plan, and execute multi-step tasks.
Definition
An AI agent is an autonomous software system that uses large language models (LLMs) to perceive, reason, plan, and execute multi-step tasks. Unlike chatbots that respond to single queries, agents can: (1) Break down complex goals into sub-tasks, (2) Use tools — web search, code execution, APIs, (3) Maintain memory across interactions, (4) Self-correct and adapt. Frameworks like LangChain, AutoGen, and CrewAI build agent systems. Harch Corp provides GPU cloud infrastructure optimized for agent workloads, which require low-latency LLM inference.
