The following visual depicts the 5 most popular design patterns employed in building AI agents.
Let's understand them below!
The AI reviews its own work to spot mistakes and iterate until it produces the final response.
Tools allow LLMs to gather more information by:
- Querying a vector database
- Executing Python scripts
- Invoking APIs, etc.
This is helpful since the LLM is not solely reliant on its internal knowledge.
ReAct combines the above two patterns:
- The Agent can reflect on the generated outputs.
- It can interact with the world using tools.
This makes it one of the most powerful patterns used today.
Instead of solving a request in one go, the AI creates a roadmap by:
- Subdividing tasks
- Outlining objectives
This strategic thinking can solve tasks more effectively.
- We have several agents.
- Each agent is assigned a dedicated role and task.
- Each agent can also access tools.
All agents work together to deliver the final outcome, while delegating task to other agents if needed.
