AI Agent Architecture — ReAct, Memory, Planning and Multi-Agent Systems · AI Agent — Architecture, Not a Chatbot
Agenticity as a Spectrum — Not a Binary Switch
AI Agent — Architecture, Not a Chatbot
Introduction
"Agent" is not a bit — it is a continuum. This lesson defines the dimensions of that spectrum: degree of autonomy, planning depth, memory scope, action space breadth. We analyse where specific systems (ChatGPT with Code Interpreter, Cursor, Devin, AutoGPT) sit on this spectrum and why binary thinking leads to poor design decisions.
