In this episode you will learn:
- An agent is an autonomous system where a model uses a loop to reason, act, and observe results until a goal is met.
- The four essential components of an agent are the model (reasoning engine), tools (APIs/functions), a loop (control flow), and memory (context).
- Agents are distinct from simpler prompt-response calls because they iterate and adapt their actions based on intermediate outcomes.
- The CCA-F exam tests your judgment on when to use a flexible agent versus a more efficient, fixed pipeline (or chain).
- A common exam trap is confusing a pre-defined sequence of tool calls with an agent's ability to autonomously decide its next action.
