Camel holds a lot of water

The Camel AI agent is essentially two agents that work side by side with each other. Since humans often need to be there to hold the AI agent’s hand, the developer’s idea is to add another AI agent to “role-play” as the human and guide its counterpart.

Essentially, the program acts by creating individual tasks and inputs them into the agent. If I ask it to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, the AI will first tell its counterpart to gather all the ingredients and tools, then place the slices of bread on a plate, and on and on until it completes the task.

At this point, Camel is more of an experimental model than a user-side platform, but more developers have talked about exploring multiple agents working in tandem, and we can expect to see more of this in the future.
