The future: AI agents that plan, execute multi-step tasks, and self-correct. Beyond autocomplete.

What Are AI Agents?

Unlike passive AI (responds to prompts), agents have goals and autonomously decide actions to achieve them.

• Planning: Break complex task into steps
• Tool Use: Call APIs, execute code, search web
• Memory: Remember previous actions
• Self-Correction: Iterate until goal achieved

Current State

• Windsurf Cascade: First production agentic IDE
• Devin (Cognition AI): Autonomous software engineer (in beta)
• AutoGPT/BabyAGI: Research projects, unstable
• LangChain Agents: Framework for building agents

Use Cases (Future)

• • "Build a REST API for X" → agent plans, codes, tests, deploys
• • "Find and fix all TODOs in codebase"
• • "Research and implement best practice for Y"
