Introduction to Reasoning › Reasoning: Teaching the Agent to Think

You've learned how to write clear prompts and use strategies like roles and examples to guide your AI agent. But what happens when you ask a question that requires multiple steps to solve? What if the agent needs to think through a problem rather than just generate an answer?

This is where reasoning comes in. Just like showing your work in math class, we can prompt the AI to break down complex problems into smaller, logical steps. This chapter explores how to get your agent to reason through challenges, leading to more accurate and trustworthy results.
