Understand the fundamental concepts behind autonomous AI agents.

Before diving deep into Lattice, it's important to understand the core concepts that power autonomous AI agents.

What is an AI Agent?

An AI agent is an autonomous system that can perceive its environment, make decisions, and take actions to achieve specific goals. Unlike simple chatbots, agents can work independently, use tools, and handle complex multi-step tasks.

Key Concepts

  • Autonomy - Agents work independently without constant human oversight
  • Tool Use - Agents can interact with external systems and APIs
  • Memory - Agents retain context across interactions
  • Planning - Agents break down complex tasks into manageable steps
