AI Agent — Autonomous Task Execution

লেসন ২৩ / ৪৬

🤖 Agent কী?

Agent = LLM + Tools + Memory + Planning। Single prompt-এর বদলে, agent multi-step কাজ নিজে করতে পারে।

Chatbot:
  User → LLM → Response (stateless)

Agent:
  User → [Plan → Act → Observe → Repeat] → Result
         ↑__________ uses tools __________|

🔧 Agent Component

  • LLM — brain (decision)
  • Tools — hands (search, code, API)
  • Memory — history, learned facts
  • Planner — task decomposition
  • Executor — tool orchestration

🔄 ReAct Pattern ⭐

Thought: I need latest AI news.
Action: web_search("AI news 2025")
Observation: [3 results]
Thought: First result promising, read it.
Action: read_url(results[0])
Observation: [content]
Thought: Good info, now summarize.
Final Answer: ...

🛠️ Common Tool

  • Web search (Tavily, Serper, Brave)
  • URL reader / scraper
  • Code execution (Python sandbox)
  • Database query (SQL)
  • File read/write
  • API call (REST/GraphQL)
  • Calculator
  • Calendar, email
  • RAG retrieval
  • Image generator

📋 Tool Definition

{
  "name": "search_flights",
  "description": "Search flights between two cities",
  "parameters": {
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
      "from": { "type": "string", "description": "Origin" },
      "to": { "type": "string" },
      "date": { "type": "string", "format": "date" },
      "passengers": { "type": "integer", "minimum": 1 }
    },
    "required": ["from", "to", "date"]
  }
}

🧠 Planning

Complex task → subtask decomposition।

User: "Plan a 7-day trip to Japan under $3000"

Agent plan:
1. Research best time to visit
2. Check flight prices (search_flight tool)
3. Find accommodation options
4. List must-see attraction
5. Budget breakdown
6. Day-by-day itinerary
7. Compile final plan

Execute each step, aggregate result.

💾 Memory Type

  • Short-term — conversation history
  • Long-term — vector DB (facts learned)
  • Episodic — past task outcome
  • Semantic — general knowledge
  • Procedural — how-to (skill)

🎭 Multi-Agent System ⭐

Multiple specialized agent collaborate।

Example: Content creation team
- Researcher Agent → gather info
- Writer Agent → draft article
- Editor Agent → polish
- SEO Agent → optimize
- Publisher Agent → post

Orchestrator coordinates all.

🏗️ Multi-Agent Framework

  • AutoGen (Microsoft)
  • CrewAI
  • LangGraph (LangChain)
  • OpenAI Swarm
  • MetaGPT
  • Claude Sub-agents

⚠️ Agent Challenge

  • Hallucinated tool call — বানানো function
  • Infinite loop — same action repeat
  • Goal drift — original objective miss
  • Cost explosion — too many LLM call
  • Error cascade — one failure → snowball
  • Security — tool misuse
  • Latency — slow multi-step

🛡️ Safety Measure

  • Max iteration limit (10-20)
  • Timeout per step
  • Tool approval gate (destructive action)
  • Audit log every action
  • Budget limit (token / cost)
  • Sandbox code execution
  • Human-in-loop checkpoint
  • Output validation

💼 Agent Use Case ⭐

  • Research & report
  • Automated code PR
  • Customer service (L2 triage)
  • Data pipeline monitoring
  • Invoice processing
  • Travel booking
  • Scheduling coordination
  • QA testing
  • SEO optimization
  • Lead enrichment

📈 Success Pattern

  • Narrow task (not "do everything")
  • Clear success criteria
  • Tool well-designed (good description)
  • Error handling robust
  • Human supervision-এ start
  • Gradually autonomy বাড়ান
  • Monitor + iterate

🎯 Build Your First Agent

Simple research agent (Python + LangChain):

from langchain.agents import initialize_agent, Tool
from langchain.llms import OpenAI
from langchain.utilities import GoogleSearchAPIWrapper

search = GoogleSearchAPIWrapper()
tools = [
    Tool(name="Search", func=search.run,
         description="Search the web")
]

agent = initialize_agent(
    tools, OpenAI(temperature=0),
    agent="zero-shot-react-description",
    verbose=True
)

agent.run("Who won 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics?")

🔮 Future

2025-2027: Agent = software's next interface। Natural language → autonomous action। Every SaaS becoming agent-enabled।
