Abstract
Agentic systems that operate in a transactional or stateless mode can be limited in their ability to perform sustained, multi-step tasks within dynamic digital environments. Such systems may exhibit brittleness, where tool execution failures may lead to a process halting rather than initiating an adaptive recovery. The disclosed technology describes a framework for autonomous agents centered on a continuous perception-cognition-interaction loop. Within this framework, an agent can utilize programmatic tools as sensory inputs to perceive the state of a digital environment and as actuators to effect change, while a cognition layer can process these perceptions to formulate actions. This cyclical process may enable the agent to maintain context across long-running tasks. Unexpected outcomes or tool failures can be treated as new perceptual inputs, enabling the agent to reason about the failure and formulate recovery strategies, which may improve operational resilience for executing complex workflows.
