Agents overview

Agents are AI systems that use LLMs as a brain to analyze problems and select external tools.

Instead of developers having to create logical statements to direct every possible path of a program, an agent can operate with autonomy. An agent can leverage external tools and APIs to gather information and take action, demonstrate chain-of-thought reasoning, and generate tailored text for specific purposes.

To simplify the development of agents, Langflow created a custom Agent component that simplifies configuration and lets developers focus on solving problems with agents.
