The foundational layer of the AI agent is responsible for processing external data and translating it for the agent's reasoning engine.
Key technologies at this layer include natural language processing, optical character recognition, and data parsing tools.
Product Management decisions involve defining input channels, managing input quality, designing user interactions, and ensuring data privacy.
The core reasoning layer focuses on understanding user intent, making decisions, and leveraging technologies like large language models and classical planning algorithms.
Product Managers need to make strategic decisions about selecting and fine-tuning language models, handling uncertainty, defining agent autonomy, and overseeing ethical boundaries.
The memory layer enables the AI agent to store contextual information and access knowledge, often utilizing vector databases and other storage mechanisms.
Product Management decisions include defining memory scope, managing knowledge sources, optimizing performance, and handling context windows.
The action layer involves the execution of tasks through API integrations, function calling capabilities, and web scraping tools.
Key Product Management tasks include identifying necessary tools, ensuring secure tool usage, obtaining user consent for actions, and establishing feedback mechanisms.
The orchestration layer coordinates all components of the AI agent, manages workflows, handles decision flows, and maintains goal-directedness.
Product Management focuses on designing core workflows, error handling strategies, preventing drift, and ensuring scalability and maintainability of the orchestration logic.
