How does an agent work?

When an agent receives a user query, it acts in an "agentic loop":

In this video, you can see how the agentic loop looks in action.(Note: LLM and agent are NOT interchangeable terms. An agent uses an LLM. More on this topic here: difference between an LLM and an agent)

1. User Query
2. Agent's turn starts
3. LLM sends message to user
4. LLM calls a tool with an input
5. Agent generates output
6. LLM repeats tool call and sending message to user
7. LLM generates the final content and the agent saves it in a downloadable PDF
8. Agent's turn ends
