The Agentic Loop: Three Loops in a Trench Coat

The Agentic Loop: Three loops in a trench coat

I argue that agentic systems aren't just a single cycle but three distinct loops working together. The Inference Loop handles LLM chat completions, the Tool Loop executes functions, and the crucial Human Loop ensures safety by requiring approval before actions occur. Understanding this structure is essential for building robust AI agents that truly benefit users.

"The human loop is necessary, because it's the only thing stopping Tom from actually sending that message to Laney."
