The big idea
AI agents have a toolbox: web search, calculator, calendar, email, code-runner. AI picks the right tool for each job.
Some examples
- For 'what's the weather?' → AI uses the weather tool.
- For 'what's 7382 × 19?' → AI uses the calculator tool.
- For 'remind me at 5pm' → AI uses the calendar tool.
- For 'find a recipe' → AI uses the web search tool.
