This article distinguishes between AI agents and simple prompts, arguing that agents are more than just detailed instructions. Agents are defined as runtime processes comprising a model, a loop, tools, and state, designed to bridge the gap between the model's limited judgment and the dynamic nature of real-world tasks. The development of agents involves a progression from single LLM calls to multi-step processes that require loops, tools, state management, and an external harness for execution and control. AI
IMPACT Clarifies the fundamental architecture of AI agents, distinguishing them from simple prompts and highlighting the necessity of runtime processes for complex tasks.
