About this lesson

In this session, we’ll explore how modern AI systems leverage external tools to extend their capabilities beyond pure language understanding. First, we’ll examine the central role of tools (including a short intro to the Model Context Protocol) in enabling agents to perform tasks such as retrieval, computation and real‑world action. Next, we’ll survey advances in reasoning‑focused models that dynamically plan and execute tool calls, highlighting recent model developments in OpenAI models. Finally, we’ll introduce the OpenAI Agent SDK, demonstrating step‑by‑step how to assemble AI agents.
