A problem-solving agent is an AI system that uses goal-directed reasoning to decide which actions to take.
It includes the following components:
- Goal Formulation: What to achieve
- Problem Formulation: How to achieve it
- Search Execution: Finding the path
- Action Execution: Implementing the plan
For example, a GPS route planner defines the start and destination (goal), uses a map to represent the environment (problem formulation), searches for possible routes (search), and provides directions (execution).
These agents transform abstract goals into concrete actions — the same principle used by autonomous robots and intelligent assistants.
