Andrew Ng (DeepLearning.AI)

Abstract

Andrew Ng describes four key agentic design patterns — reflection, tool use, planning, and multi-agent collaboration — and argues that agentic workflows represent the next major wave of AI capability improvement.

Eigenvector Commentary

Ng's four-pattern framework is the most accessible introduction to agentic AI design. The reflection-tool-planning-multi-agent taxonomy maps directly onto the PASF framework, making it a useful bridge between academic research and enterprise practice.
