This repository is a collection of concepts, notes, research papers, articles, design patterns, tools, and examples useful for building AI agents.

🚜👷🚧🏗️ Note: This repo is under active development. Things will move around a lot.

About agents

AI Agents are software programs capable of:

• Interacting with their environment
• Collecting data
• Planning
• Making decisions based on data
• Performing predetermined goals
• Autonomously

Architectural patterns

• GenAI architectural patterns
• Navigating Complexity: Orchestrated Problem Solving with Multi-Agent LLMs
• 3 Patterns in Agent Design
• Design Patterns with Autogen

Architectural types

Simple Reflex Agents

• Simple reflex agents respond directly to stimuli from the environment without considering the history of the world.

Model-based Reflex Agents

• Model-based reflex agents use a model of the world to handle partially observable environments.

Goal-based Agents

• Goal-based agents act to achieve specific goals.

Utility-based Agents

• Utility-based agents aim to maximize their performance measure through a utility function.

Learning Agents

• Learning agents have the ability to improve their performance over time based on experience.

ReAct Agent (Reason + Action)

• Combines reasoning and action to improve decision-making processes in AI agents.

Task-Planner Agent

• Uses task planning to break down complex goals into manageable tasks for the agent to execute.

Multi-Agent Orchestration

• Coordinates multiple agents to work together towards common goals, enhancing their collective performance.

Examples Agents

• Awesome AI Agents
