What is an AI agent exactly?

LLM system that plans, uses tools, remembers, and loops to hit goals autonomously—not just chat.

How do you build AI agents from scratch?

Start with ReAct prompting on GPT/Claude, add tools (search/APIs), memory (vector DB), then multi-agent orchestration via LangChain.

Are AI agents production-ready in 2024?

Yes for structured tasks with monitoring; watch for hallucinations, add human oversight for big stakes.
