Core Architecture

The ReAct Reasoning Loop

Every agent follows a structured reasoning pattern: Observe the environment, Think about the best approach, Act using tools, and Iterate until the task is complete.

STEP 01

Observe

Receives the request and gathers context. Reads previous conversation, tool outputs, and environmental state.

STEP 02

Think

Chain-of-thought reasoning about the best approach. Considers multiple strategies and selects the optimal path.

STEP 03

Act

Executes selected tools in parallel. Runs compliance scans, queries data, generates reports, searches the web.

STEP 04

Iterate

Evaluates the result. If the task isn't complete, loops back to Observe with new context. Continues until done.

Loops until task complete — average 2.3 iterations
