Comprehensive Overview of AI Agents: Concepts, Technical Frameworks, and Applications
The article surveys modern AI agents—software entities powered by large language models that perceive multimodal inputs, reason via brain modules, act through tools or embodied actions, employ retrieval‑augmented generation and chain‑of‑thought planning, and can operate singly (e.g., AutoGPT) or collaboratively via frameworks like Microsoft’s AutoGen—while highlighting current challenges such as controllability, memory limits, parallelism, and reliability.
