AI agents are the coolest tech out there, changing how we talk to machines and process info. These agents, powered by fancy tech like Large Language Models (LLMs), are made up of different parts and processes that can be complex but super interesting. However, a vast segment of the tech world has yet to catch up with this new paradigm.
So, In this article, we’ll break down the inner workings of AI agents in a way that’s easy to understand. We’ll cover their basics, how they think, how they call functions (with examples), and how they store info.

They can see their surroundings, figure out what they want to do, and then do it. They’re often powered by LLMs (like OpenAI’s GPT models), which give them the “thinking” and “language understanding” skills. They also have other tools like APIs, databases, and special math algorithms that help them do specific things.
