A model, tools, memory, and instructions. The model is the reasoning engine. Tools are the hands, the ability to check the weather, query a database, send a message. Memory is the notes, information stored outside the model so a long task doesn&rsquo;t fall apart the moment something scrolls out of view. Instructions set the boundaries for what it&rsquo;s supposed to do in the first place. Miss any one of these and the whole thing breaks in a specific, predictable way. Lesson 3, of my 7 lesson series, breaks down each piece and why it exists. <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/signup/cold-join?session_redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Ffeed%2Fhashtag%2Fagenticai&amp;trk=public_post-text">#AgenticAI</a> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/signup/cold-join?session_redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Ffeed%2Fhashtag%2Faiarchitecture&amp;trk=public_post-text">#AIArchitecture</a> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/signup/cold-join?session_redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Ffeed%2Fhashtag%2Faiagents&amp;trk=public_post-text">#AIAgents</a> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/signup/cold-join?session_redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Ffeed%2Fhashtag%2Ftechexplained&amp;trk=public_post-text">#TechExplained</a></p>https://jorgelaurel.com/writing/lesson-2-from-chatbot-to-agent/Tue, 25 Aug 2026 18:00:05 +0000https://jorgelaurel.com/writing/lesson-2-from-chatbot-to-agent/<p><img src="https://jorgelaurel.com/images/writing/a928b8ce05b82603.png" alt="Lesson 2: From Chatbot to Agent"> </p> <hr> <p>A note on this series.
