Basic agentic AI system architectures

Basic agentic AI system architectures

So far, the majority of this foundation's course has been focused on the architecture of the agent and rightly so. But let's now turn our attention to the agentic AI system architecture. There are several types of agentic AI system architectures, some of which are highly specialized. In this foundation's course, we'll establish the most basic system architectures and we'll focus on the more specialized ones in the next course about agentic AI design patterns. So there are two fundamental types of systems. First, we have the single agent AI system. When we deploy a single standalone agent, then the agent is basically the system and no other components may be required for it to function as a standalone application. And then we have the multi-agent AI system where we have two or more agents working alongside each other and possibly interacting with each other as part of a distributed application architecture that is comprised of the individual agent architectures and a greater system…
