By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

AI models can now interact with external tools and real-time data through a process called tool calling. This involves the AI generating a structured request for a specific tool, which your application code then executes. The results are fed back to the AI, enabling it to provide answers based on live information it wouldn't otherwise possess. This capability is facilitated by platforms like Amazon Bedrock, which allow developers to define tools with names, descriptions, and input schemas for models such as Claude. AI
