Overview
AI agents represent the latest milestone in humanity's computational toolbox. Powered by large language models (LLMs) and the data they were trained on, AI agents are tools that let you interact with specialized LLMs to achieve more productive or creative workflows with less technical hassle.
With this report, machine learning engineer Benjamin Labaschin explains AI agents through real-world use cases. From questioning and answering agents and coding assistants to text summarization software and dataset augmentation tools, you'll learn just how easy it is to work with AI agents. If you're at all curious about this new wave of software functionality but have been unsure about where to start, this is the report for you.
You'll not only know what AI agents are and when to use them, but you'll also learn a few options for getting started. So what are you waiting for?
You'll discover:
- Why different AI agents—such as question and answer agents, coding assistants, and chatbots—have different purposes
- What it's like to work with AI agents, and when to use them, by reviewing common real-world use cases
- How to use AI agents through real-world examples, and how to use the available tools
- What to look for in coming months as AI agents expand into more products and businesses
