About this lesson

In this video, we break down some of the most misunderstood concepts in agentic AI systems — memory, reasoning, and autonomy and clarify what’s actually happening under the hood. You’ll learn why “memory” in AI agents is not what it sounds like, how context is managed externally rather than learned internally, and why so-called reasoning and decision-making are better understood as carefully designed behaviors rather than true intelligence. We also explore an important question: who is really making decisions in agentic systems — the agent, or the designer?
