Understanding AI Agents in 2025

Introduction

• AI agents are a significant opportunity in 2025, prominently discussed across social media, news, and startups.
• AI agents act as assistants, automating tasks based on user preferences.

What Are AI Agents?

• AI agents perform tasks independently, using plans of action without requiring constant human intervention.
• Capable of automating daily repetitive tasks like booking services, ordering items, or managing schedules.
• They rely on knowledge of user preferences to make informed decisions.

How AI Agents Work

• Function through large language models (e.g., GPT, Claude, Gemini, Deep Seek) combined with specific tools to execute tasks.
• Example: Ordering a pizza involves sequential reasoning and decision-making steps using available tools such as a browser.
• They adapt plans based on outcomes, similar to human task execution.

Characteristics of AI Agents

• Not just simple query-response tools; they use complex reasoning and planning.
• Can access and utilize various tools to perform tasks efficiently.

Multi-Agentic Workflow

• Single-Agent Workflow: One agent carries out all tasks.
• Multi-Agent Workflow: Multiple agents collaborate, each specialized in different areas (e.g., web development tasks like frontend, backend, etc.).
• One-to-One Workflow: Sequential task handing from one agent to another.
• One-to-Many Workflow: Supervisory agent assigns tasks to specialized agents.

Building AI Agents

Using Code

• Learn LangChain for building AI agents.
• Understand tooling to interact with external systems (e.g., Playwright, Puppeteer).
• Requires knowledge of JavaScript, JSON, and integration skills.

Using No-Code Platforms

• Recommended for beginners.
• Platforms: Make.com, Crew AI, N8N.
  • Crew AI: Offers a course on multi-agent systems.
  • N8N: Allows for extensive customizations and complex workflows.
• Processes involve linking AI agents with tools and reviewing human feedback.

Business Opportunities with AI Agents

• Focus on automating processes in areas where businesses spend significantly (e.g., hiring, operations, finances).
• Create AI agent versions of successful SaaS tools for efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
• Analyze top-performing SaaS companies and innovate AI-driven solutions.

Conclusion

• Curiosity and continuous learning are keys to leveraging AI agents.
• Additional resources such as courses and reports (e.g., Google report on AI agents) are recommended for further learning.
