This article introduces the fundamental pattern behind AI agents, defining them as models that use tools within a loop to achieve a goal, rather than just responding to prompts. It outlines the ReAct (Reasoning and Acting) pattern, which involves a cycle of thinking, acting via tool use, and observing results to iteratively progress towards a solution. The author plans to build a practical personal organizer agent from scratch using plain Python, demonstrating this core pattern without relying on complex frameworks. AI
