Understanding internal monologue

- The concept of an internal monologue in agentic AI is where the agent creates and processes intermediate thoughts, reasoning steps, or self dialogue that are not immediately presented as its final output. It's like a private step-by-step thinking process that helps the agent arrive at the best solution or decision. This internal thought process is independent from the final polished output that an agent provides. It basically represents the agent's working memory, like a scratch pad, where it breaks down problems, explores options, evaluates partial results, or considers different perspectives before finalizing its action or response. What primarily enables internal monologue is the use of large language models or LLMs. As you probably know, a common use of LLMs has been with generative AI systems, where humans issue user prompts to request certain types of content as output, and to then further issue new user prompts as a means of interacting with the LLM to augment that output…
