Deep Agents

The article discusses "deep agents," a type of AI agent that can plan and act over longer, more complex tasks. These agents use a combination of a planning tool, sub-agents, access to a file system, and a detailed prompt. The core algorithm involves an LLM running in a loop and calling tools, similar to simpler agents, but with key differences. The article also introduces an open-source package called `deepagents` designed to help developers build their own deep agents, including components like a system prompt, a planning tool, sub-agent capabilities, and a virtual file system.
