Working with AI Agents
Move beyond basic chatbots and learn how autonomous AI systems solve multi-step problems. Discover how agents use tools, maintain memory, and work independently toward goals you define. Learn to guide, constrain, and supervise agents so they deliver reliable real-world results.
Like Duolingo, but for Working with AI Agents. Tomo turns the whole topic into a game you play five minutes a day, until it actually sticks.
A short one: 11 levels across 2 sections, about 22 minutes end to end, roughly 4 days at five minutes a day. It moves through Delegating to Autonomous Systems and Supervising and Directing Agent Work. It starts from scratch.

Key ideas in Working with AI Agents
- A standard chatbot operates turn-by-turn and stops after generating each response to wait for human input
- An AI agent takes an overall objective and runs an automated loop, executing multiple actions in sequence until the goal is finished
- An agent first checks its current state or environment (observing)
- It decides what action will bring it closer to its goal (planning)
- It performs the chosen operation, such as calling an external tool or sending an email (acting)
- It checks whether the action succeeded before deciding what to do next (evaluating)
- Effective agent prompts define the target outcome so the agent knows when it has succeeded
- Setting guardrails and boundary rules prevents agents from making harmful assumptions
- Scripting every intermediate click or step limits the agent's ability to navigate dynamic situations
- Language-model-powered agents can take slightly different decision paths even with the same starting prompt
- When an action fails (like a broken link or an invalid search term), an agent can inspect the error message and formulate a revised plan
- A base language model only predicts text based on historical training data
- Tools like APIs, web search, and calculators give the model a way to perceive current external data and take real-world actions
- Without external tools, an agent cannot check live prices or trigger real transactions
- An agent reads plain-text descriptions of available tools to decide which one matches its current sub-goal
- Clear descriptions and parameter names guide the model to select the right tool for each step
You've tried the other tabs
Thirty open tabs. Four facts you actually kept.
You watched. You nodded. By Sunday it was gone.
One answer, then back to scrolling.
Eight weeks. You meant to finish. You didn't.
Tomo gives Working with AI Agents the Duolingo treatment: levels, streaks, and quick quizzes that test what you just learned. That game loop is what the tabs above never had, so it's the one you actually finish.
