Autonomous agents with LLMs

An experiment exploring how to build autonomous agents powered by LLMs, capable of reasoning, planning, and using external tools.

The idea

AI agents represent a qualitative leap over traditional chatbots. Instead of just answering questions, an agent can decompose a complex problem into sub-tasks, execute them, and verify the results.

Stack

  • LLM: Claude as the reasoning engine
  • Tool use: function calling to interact with external APIs
  • Orchestration: reasoning loop with short-term memory

Results

The approach works surprisingly well for structured tasks. The main challenges remain error handling and computational cost for very long tasks.
