Modern AI systems have evolved from simple chat interfaces to sophisticated agent architectures capable of complex reasoning, planning, and action. This guide explores the fundamental architecture behind today's most capable AI agents.
An agent architecture is the blueprint that defines how an AI system processes requests, makes decisions, and takes actions in the world.
Component Overview
The architecture consists of several key components that work together to enable sophisticated capabilities:
- Safety Layer: Ensures all requests meet security and policy requirements
- Planning & Orchestration: Coordinates the execution of complex tasks
- Integration Layer: Connects the agent to external tools and services
- Collaboration Layer: Enables working with other agents and humans
