AI Agents

Introduction to AI Agents​

AI Agents are autonomous systems that can perceive their environment, make decisions, and take actions to achieve specific goals. In the context of architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC), AI agents can assist with various tasks from design optimization to project management.

Types of AI Agents​

Reactive Agents​

Simple agents that respond to immediate stimuli without considering history or future implications.

Planning Agents​

Agents that can formulate plans to achieve goals, considering multiple steps and potential obstacles.

Learning Agents​

Agents that improve their performance over time through experience and feedback.

Applications in AEC​

AI agents can be applied in various domains within architecture, engineering, and construction:

  • Design Assistance: Automated space planning and layout optimization
  • Project Management: Resource allocation and scheduling optimization
  • Quality Control: Automated inspection and compliance checking
  • Facility Management: Predictive maintenance and energy optimization

Getting Started​

To begin working with AI agents in your projects, consider starting with simple rule-based systems before advancing to more complex machine learning approaches.
