Goal-Based Agent
Domain: Agent Architectures
🎯 Motivation
The agent has explicit goals and searches for action sequences that achieve them, rather than just reacting.
📋 Concrete Example
Goal: ‘deploy the app.’ The agent searches for a path: build -> test -> containerize -> push -> deploy. It evaluates which actions move toward the goal.
🔗 Analogy
A navigator with a destination - they do not just turn left when they see a left sign. They plan a route to their destination (goal) and follow it. Goal-based agents navigate toward goals.
