Agent
An LLM-driven system that reasons, plans, and takes actions (via tools) to achieve a goal autonomously.
Why it exists
Standard LLM calls are stateless prompt-in answer-out. Agents put the model in a feedback loop with tools and memory to solve multi-step goals.
How it works
Executes loop: Observe state -> Think (ReAct) -> Call tool -> Observe output -> Repeat until termination condition is met.
