But the real questions is why?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s break it down into three key ideas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&nbsp;LLMs (Large Language Models)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AI Workflows&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AI Agents&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Large Language Models (LLMs): The Brain of AI<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LLMs are computer programs that understand and write human language.You can ask them questions or give instructions, and they reply in a way that sounds like a real person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s the process?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To train LLMs, texts from books, articles, and websites are utilized on a large scale.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Their heads are not understanding like humans, but recognizing elements of speech and writing that patterns enable will do wonders for AI\u2019s comprehension.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AI understands these patterns enabling them to intelligently guess what words ought to be next in the sentence and know the best way to respond to your queries.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What do they do?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Comprehension: From your text, comprehension is reading widely in demand in the modern working world.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Creation: Emails, stories, summaries, and code can be automated, written, generated, and created.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Translation: Many languages or LLMs will swish back and forth between enabling you to code freely without being held back by language barriers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Answer questions: You can ask historical questions, scientific questions, or even have it explain a cooking procedure for you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s comparing how different AI models perform on the same question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;This site <a href=\"https:\/\/lmarena.ai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&nbsp;https:\/\/lmarena.ai\/<\/a> \u2014 a platform that lets you compare responses from multiple AI models side-by-side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I type in:<br><strong>&#8220;Explain LLM&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXden9yEdRGgTeL_9f-5ZAjq_1oJ9-7TxCBLkQKlip8YwRb-lincBxAvMrSi_txK2xL7zTTFdg3VXFm3FRlFsuXOOR6Q4ign3aO305njuprbYo7XZVlTSsf33_HCs4ng0GNO1zqT?key=IfcEL-F7GBQGa2sYiY9GQQ\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. AI Workflows: The Recipe That Gets Things Done&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An AI workflow is a list of instructions organized in a specific way for the AI to follow.

AI Agents: The Smart Workers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An AI agent is a type of a smart assistant which is goal oriented and knows how to achieve the goal. Instead of following a sequential list, it makes choices, employs tools, and alters its strategies when necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How does it work?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An AI agent can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Plan &#8211; think of how its goal can be achieved step by step.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Act &#8211; employ a LLM, a search engine, or other software applications.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adjust &#8211; try employing a different approach when there are hurdles blocking the way.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is called the ReAct framework \u2013 Reason and Act.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine a case where an AI agent is instructed to update an Instagram account with an company picnic post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s how it might work:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Step 1 (Get info): Use webs to fetch photos and details of the event.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Step 2 (Use LLM): Provide the gathered data to LLM, request a catchy few sentences and relevant hashtags.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Step 3 (Organize): Store the caption and photo in Google docs.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Step 4 (Schedule): Monitor user activities and determine the best time to post.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Step 5 (Post): Sign into the Instagram account and execute the post.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Step 6 (Monitor): It tracks the likes and comments and reports back.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the case of one step failing (for example, no photographs being taken), it can return to capture other pictures and continue from where it left off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artificial Intelligence (AI) is everywhere today&nbsp; &#8211; from helping people write emails, images creation, customer interactions, or managing businesses.
