AI Agents Introduction

What is this?

An AI agent loops: perceive input, plan, use tools, observe results, until it meets a stop condition — more autonomous than one-shot chat.

Why should you care?

PromptVerse Agent Studio configures goal, tools, and guardrails for support and ops agents.

See it live — copy this example

Copy the prompt into ChatGPT, Claude, or your LLM API playground and compare outputs.

agent_config = {
  goal: "Resolve billing ticket or escalate",
  tools: ["search_kb", "get_invoice", "escalate_human"],
  max_steps: 6,
  stop_when: "resolved OR escalated"
}

What happened?

  • Goal defines success.
  • Tools bound actions.
  • max_steps prevents runaway loops.
  • stop_when ends the loop explicitly.

Practice next

  1. Write goal + 3 tools for a fake agent.
  2. List stop conditions.
  3. Role-play 4 steps on paper.
  4. Add memory summary every 3 steps.
  5. Log each step to trace UI.

Remember

Agents = loop + tools + goal. Cap steps. Human escalation is a tool.

Agent pilot

Team replaces static FAQ with agent.

Outcome: Agent searches KB before answering; escalates edge cases.
