Key concepts - index

Here we present some key concepts to understand how AI agents work internally. More concretely:

• The section autonomous economic agents presents an overview of the main components of an agent blueprint. It is an excerpt of the Open AEA documentation.
• The section about finite-state machines briefly reviews their main concepts through an example.
• The section about the Application Blockchain Interface discusses the interface used by AI agents to communicate with the local blockchain.
• The main section is devoted to FSM Apps, which is the core component of an AI agent which implements its business logic.
• Finally, we also present some considerations about the threat model of AI agents.
