Agent Definition is unclear

Can someone please confirm that within this course lecture#3 and 4, it is defined that an agent is an LLM that can ask questions to itself and then answer it until a satisfactory answer is achieved. So is it mandatory for an agent to be LLM based? Or we can have agents that are not based on LLMs?

Yes @Mohammad_Salman_Ahme agents are LLMs that are augmented with tools and prompts to perform specific task.

Okay, Perfect. I think I understand now. Agents are always LLM assisted but different agents have different tools to work with. Thank you @Deepti_Prasad
