Build a Basic AI Agent from Scratch: Long Task Planning
This article explains how to improve AI agent performance by implementing a 'scratchpad' memory system. This allows agents to plan long-term tasks rather than just responding to immediate conversational prompts.
Why it matters
Improving the autonomy and planning capabilities of AI agents is a critical step toward creating more useful, task-oriented software assistants.
In the previous part of the Build A Basic AI Agent From Scratch series, we added the essential tools to our agent to allow it to work autonomously for us. We gave it the ability to find files, read and write files, run bash commands and get content from the web. We got a very capable agent with just these tools.
