Day 10: Plan Formulation

Plan Formulation is a critical step of the planning aspect of LLM agents, which AI Assistants are based on. At this phase, LLM Agents divide extensive tasks into smaller subtasks. There are different methods for task decomposition available:

• A creation of the comprehensive plan in one go and then following it step by step.

• Chain of Thought (CoT) approach, a strategy where agents address sub-tasks individually, providing more flexibility.

• The Tree of Thought (ToT) method extends the CoT concept by exploring multiple problem-solving paths. It dissects the issue into several stages, generating diverse ideas at each step and structuring them akin to branches on a tree.

Hierarchical structures or decision trees can also be utilised, evaluating all potential choices before finalising a plan.
