Build your own AI agent: from architecture to deployment

An AI agent is a system that takes a goal, breaks it into steps, uses tools to execute those steps, and adapts when things go wrong. Unlike generic AI automation posts, this guide shows real CodeWords workflows — not just theory. You will build a working agent architecture, not just read about one.

TL;DR

• Building an AI agent requires four components: a reasoning model, tools the model can invoke, memory for context persistence, and an orchestration loop that manages the plan-act-observe cycle.
• The hardest part is not the model — it is tool design, error recovery, and knowing when the agent should stop and ask a human.
• CodeWords lets you build and deploy AI agents as serverless workflows where Cody handles the orchestration, tool wiring, and deployment.
