Cognitive Architectures -- A principled way to build agents

Explore how cognitive architecture principles—memory types, reasoning, and planning—are applied to create a coding agent using modern LLM techniques, practical.

Overview

In the quest to build artificial intelligence, could understanding natural intelligence help?
Cognitive architectures is the field of understanding and implementing the various building blocks of intelligence in cognitive science, offering a principled way to build agents. In this demo, I’ll show some basic blocks that I’ve built and assembled into a coding agent.
