In this episode, *Dr. Sanjiva Weerawarana* and *Asanka Abeysinghe* demystify what “agents” really are and why architects should care. They walk through core concepts and terminology—agents, agent loops, prompts, context, memory, RAG, tools, MCP, and skills—and discuss how agents observe, act, and evaluate. The conversation compares agents to traditional systems, explores where agents fit in modern architectures (including solo agents, agent-to-agent patterns, and multi-agent setups), and looks at orchestration challenges.
