AI Agents Explained - How They Actually Work
How AI agents can search, code, debug, and fix — all without you touching the keyboard? It's not a smarter AI. It's the same language model with different scaffolding.
In this video, I break down exactly what's happening inside AI agents — the loop, the tool calls, the memory systems, and where it all falls apart.
What you'll learn:
→ The ReAct pattern that powers virtually every agent framework
→ How tool calling actually works (model proposes, your code executes)
→ Why agents forget and how memory systems solve it
→ Common failure modes you'll hit if you build with agents
→ A mental model …
