Plan and Execute › Plan and Execute

In the previous chapter, we learned how to break down complex tasks into manageable steps. Our assistant can now look at a request like "Plan my weekend getaway" and decompose it into a clear sequence: find destinations, check travel options, book accommodations, and plan activities. But having a plan is only half the battle. Now we need to actually execute it.

Think of it like following a recipe. You've read through the instructions and understand the steps, but you still need to gather ingredients, measure them out, and cook them in the right order. If you discover you're out of eggs halfway through, you'll need to adapt. The same goes for our AI agent. This chapter explores how an agent takes its plan and turns it into action, handling each step sequentially while remaining flexible enough to deal with the unexpected.
