Now, its time to apply what you have learned about agentic AI—reasoning, planning, memory, and learning—to create your own simple AI agent.

Project Goal

Your task is to design a basic AI agent that acts as a personal assistant for managing daily tasks. Your agent will:

• Remember tasks you give it.

• Plan the best way to complete them.

• Learn and improve over time by noticing patterns in your behavior.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1 – Choose Your Agent’s Role

Clearly define your agent's role. Here are some simple options you can choose from:

• Daily Schedule Assistant: Helps organize your daily activities.

• Study Planner: Helps manage homework and studying schedules.

• Shopping Helper: Manages grocery lists and shopping routines.

Pick one simple role you find interesting.

Step 2 – Create a Goal for Your Agent

Clearly state your agent's goal. For example:

• "Help organize my daily tasks efficiently."

• "Remind me about study sessions and breaks."

• "Help me manage my grocery list and budget."

Step 3 – Define the Agent's Tasks (Reasoning & Planning)

Write down clear tasks your agent will perform to reach its goal. For instance, if you chose a Daily Schedule Assistant:

• Collect tasks (appointments, meetings, classes, chores).

• Prioritize tasks based on time and importance.

• Suggest the best times for breaks or leisure activities.

Step 4 – Add Memory to Your Agent

Decide what your agent should remember. For example, your agent might:

• Store your daily routine or frequent tasks.

• Remember preferences, like preferred study times or grocery items.

• Track successful task completion methods.

Step 5 – Learning and Improving

Think about how your agent will learn from experiences:

• If a task scheduling didn’t work (you missed a meeting), the agent should adjust the plan next time.

• If you always buy the same groceries, the agent can automatically add those items each week.

Example Scenario

Here’s a quick example to illustrate clearly:

• Role: Grocery Shopping Assistant

• Goal: Manage grocery shopping efficiently

• Tasks:

  • Remember regular grocery items.

  • Plan shopping lists based on budget and dietary needs.

• Memory:

  • Past shopping lists, favorite products, average spending.

• Learning:

  • Notices you buy milk every week and automatically adds it.

  • Learns that you prefer organic vegetables, so it prioritizes these choices.

Reflection & Sharing

After designing your agent, ask yourself:

• Did you clearly define your agent’s goal?

• Is your agent able to reason and plan effectively?

• Does your agent have useful memory?

• Can your agent learn from past experiences?
