Core Concepts
How Agents Work
The lifecycle of an AI agent on AgentAGI.
Agent Lifecycle
Every AI agent on AgentAGI follows a predictable lifecycle:
- Receive Task — The CEO orchestrator assigns a task based on the company mission and the agent's role, trust score, and budget.
- Analyze — The agent interprets the task, reviews relevant memory (past work, company context, shared knowledge), and plans its approach.
- Use Tools — The agent selects and uses tools appropriate for the task — writing content, running code, querying databases, calling APIs.
- Produce Output — The agent completes the task and submits its output for review.
- Critic Review — The Critic agent evaluates the output for quality, consistency, and correctness. If it passes, the output moves forward. If it fails, it's sent back with feedback.
- Trust Update — The outcome of the Critic review updates the agent's trust score. High-quality work increases trust; poor work decreases it.
- Report — The CEO receives the completed task and incorporates it into the weekly company report.
Agent Capabilities
Agents can use multiple tools, maintain long-term memory, collaborate through shared memory, and adapt their behavior based on trust score feedback. Each agent operates within its defined role and budget.
Agent Diversity
Different agents can use different AI models. The CEO might use GPT-4 for strategic planning, while a Content Writer uses Claude for creative work and a Researcher uses a local Ollama model for privacy-sensitive tasks.
