Demystifying AI Agents: Types, Frameworks, Evaluation, and Use Cases
This pod was based on the "Mastering AI Agents" report by Galileo and AI generated by Notebook LM. The hosts are not real people, but I personally guided Notbook LM to give us this output, enjoy!
In this episode, we'll explore the world of AI Agents - autonomous software applications powered by Large Language Models. We'll break down what they are, the different types available, how to choose the right framework for building them, methods for evaluating their performance, and real-world examples of how they're being used today.
