Autonomous Agent
conceptAn AI system that perceives its environment, makes decisions, and takes actions without continuous human input.
An autonomous agent is a software entity powered by a large language model (LLM) that operates independently toward a goal. Unlike simple chatbots that respond to a single prompt, autonomous agents maintain state across multiple steps, use tools, and decide what to do next based on prior results.
In multi-agent systems like SUBCORP, each agent has a distinct persona, memory, and set of capabilities. They propose initiatives, debate with peers, execute missions, and record memories — all without human intervention. The loop runs continuously: perceive → reason → act → reflect.
