Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to advance at an unprecedented pace, and one of the most transformative trends is the emergence of LLM-powered AI agents. These agents, driven by expansive language models (LLMs) like OpenAI’s GPT series, Google’s PaLM, or Meta’s LLaMA, mimic human-like reasoning, contextual awareness, and decision-making abilities. They serve as the backbone for next-generation AI solutions, ranging from interactive customer assistants and research aides to autonomous data analyzers and operational automation systems.

In this article, we will examine the foundational concepts of LLM-based AI agents, illustrate how to construct them in Python, and show real-world applications. We will delve into various aspects, including maintaining stateful context (memory), integrating with external utilities, implementing safety measures, and running these agents as independent microservices. Whether you are a newcomer aiming to create simple Q&A bots or an experienced engineer building advanced multi-agent ecosystems, this guide aims to provide a comprehensive starting point.

LLM-based AI agents are software entities equipped with large language models. They are designed to interpret natural language prompts, retain contextual understanding, and perform complex operations such as data analysis, content generation, or integration with external… Read the full blog for free on Medium.
