Where should you start?
If you want to explore AI Agents, start on a Raspberry Pi or an old device you already have, suggests Abdul Osama (عبدول أسامة). An AI Agent is software that can pursue a goal by taking steps with the tools available to it. His advice is to understand the concept through use before looking for more applications or adding more Agents.
“AI Agents take time to build a working relationship with.” — Abdul Osama
The idea behind the advice
Abdul compares working with Agents to teaching a helper over time, while also making clear that they are ultimately computers and numbers. He says they can keep working while you sleep. His suggested path is to try one on an available device, learn what it can do, and then judge when you need more than one Assistant or Agent. An Assistant is software that responds to a user's requests; the term Agent commonly refers to software that can take steps toward a goal.
“First, get a Raspberry Pi or an old device you have and run it on that.” — Abdul Osama
In numbers
- One device: Abdul says it can run multiple Agents.
Background
Raspberry Pi is a small computer used for projects and software experiments. For an Agent to keep running while you sleep, its device and software must remain on. The video does not name a particular Agent application or give installation steps.
What to do next
Use an available device to learn the concept hands-on. Once you have tried it, decide whether your tasks call for another Agent rather than assuming you need several from the start.
