Agentic AI Architecture: The Four-Component Loop and the Single-Agent vs. Multi-Agent Decision

Agentic AI architecture is defined by a four-component loop (Perception, Reasoning, Memory, Action) and can be implemented as either a simpler single-agent system for focused tasks or a scalable multi-agent system for complex enterprise challenges. The choice between these architectures depends on task complexity, scalability needs, and tolerance for operational overhead.
