Agentic LLMs

All words and no actions turn LLMs into Large Liability Models. Thus Enter the Agentic LLMs.

Large Language Models are powerful at understanding and generating language. However, language alone is not enough to solve real-world problems.

Agentic LLMs extend traditional LLMs by giving them the ability to decide, act, observe outcomes, and adapt — much like a human operator executing tasks step by step.

Instead of responding once and stopping, an agent reasons over multiple steps, uses tools, and works toward a goal.

Why Agentic LLMs Exist

A normal LLM answers questions.

An agentic LLM answers questions and then does something about it.

Examples:

  • Reading a document → extracting facts → validating them → storing results

  • Understanding a user request → choosing tools → calling APIs → verifying outputs

  • Planning a multi-step task → executing → correcting mistakes → finishing the goal

Agentic behavior is essential when:

  • The task cannot be completed in one response

  • The system must interact with external systems

  • The model must self-correct or re-plan

Core Agent Loop

At the heart of an Agentic LLM is a simple but powerful loop:

  1. Observe Receive user input, system state, or tool outputs.

  2. Reason Decide what to do next based on goals and context.

  3. Act Call a tool, query a database, read a document, or ask a follow-up question.

  4. Evaluate Check whether the action helped achieve the goal.

  5. Repeat or Stop Continue until the objective is satisfied.

This loop turns a passive model into an active problem solver.

Tools as Extensions of Cognition

In agentic systems, tools are not add-ons — they are extensions of the model’s capabilities.

Common tool types:

  • Search engines

  • Databases

  • Code execution

  • APIs

  • Memory stores

  • Document readers

The LLM does not know everything. Instead, it knows how to find, verify, and combine information.

Planning vs Execution

Agentic LLMs often separate thinking into two layers:

  • Planner

    • Breaks a goal into sub-tasks

    • Chooses execution order

  • Executor

    • Performs each step

    • Reports results back to the planner

This separation improves:

  • Reliability

  • Debuggability

  • Control over long-running tasks

Memory in Agentic Systems

Unlike single-turn chatbots, agents require memory.

Types of memory:

  • Short-term: current task context

  • Working memory: intermediate results

  • Long-term: user preferences, learned facts, prior executions

Memory allows agents to:

  • Avoid repeating mistakes

  • Maintain continuity

  • Learn from previous runs

Failure Is a Graceful

Agentic systems are designed to fail safely.

Instead of collapsing on errors, they:

  • Detect failures

  • Re-evaluate assumptions

  • Retry with alternative strategies

This is critical for:

  • Automation

  • Enterprise workflows

  • Mission-critical systems

Agentic LLMs and Indian Languages

Most large language models are optimized primarily for English-first interaction. However, real-world conversational systems — especially in India — require native competence across multiple Indian languages, dialects, and code-mixed usage.

At Dhee, we work with Conversational Agentic LLMs trained and adapted for Indian languages, focusing on:

  • Natural, spoken-style conversations

  • Language-specific grammar and morphology

  • Cultural context and usage patterns

  • Multi-turn dialogue and Task following robustness

These models are designed not just to translate, but to converse natively.
