NUILab Agentic AI

Patterns

Reusable design patterns for agentic systems — orchestration, tool use, planning, memory, RAG, multi-agent, and evaluation.

Patterns

Tool use

The pattern every agent is built on: give the model a set of tools it can call, and loop — it picks a tool, you run it, the result goes back in, and it goes again.

Patterns

Planning

Have the agent break a goal into steps before it acts, work the plan, and revise it as it learns — so a multi-step task doesn't wander or lose the thread.

Patterns

Memory

What an agent carries between steps and across sessions — the running context, notes it writes down, and facts it pulls from a store — and how to manage a context window that is always too small.

Patterns

Retrieval (RAG)

Fetch the documents relevant to a question and put them in the model's context before it answers, so it works from your actual data and can cite sources instead of guessing from training.

Patterns

Evaluation

How to tell whether an agent's output is any good — systematically, with deterministic checks, judge agents, and a fixed test set — instead of eyeballing one run and hoping.

Patterns

Multi-agent orchestration

Run several scoped agents instead of one that does everything — for parallelism and for focused context — and coordinate them with a manager, a pipeline, or a shared bus.
