Introduction​
In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has gained increasing popularity, fueled notably by the democratization of powerful natural language processing (NLP) models and large language models (LLMs). Nowadays, these technologies go beyond mere text generation or auto-completion: they give rise to more complex, more autonomous systems capable of acting and interacting on behalf of the user. These systems—commonly referred to as AI agents—are designed to handle all sorts of tasks, from simply answering frequent questions to managing an entire complex process.
