AI Agents: A Deep Dive
How Epicat's agent system works under the hood — from task decomposition to autonomous execution.
Our agent system is built on a simple principle: break complex tasks into small, verifiable steps.
Architecture
Each agent runs in an isolated environment with access to a defined set of tools. The orchestrator manages the flow:
- Decompose — The task is split into subtasks
- Assign — Each subtask is assigned to a specialized agent
- Execute — Agents work in parallel where possible
- Verify — Results are checked against acceptance criteria
Tool System
Agents interact with the world through tools — typed functions that perform specific actions:
const tool = defineTool({
name: "read-file",
input: z.object({ path: z.string() }),
handler: async ({ path }) => {
return fs.readFile(path, "utf-8");
},
});What's Next
We're working on multi-agent orchestration for even more complex workflows. Follow our engineering blog for updates.
