What is Acte? Acte is a framework to build GUI-like tools for AI Agents. Why GUI-like? The current tool solution, as known as Function Calling, is based on API calling, like weather API, Google API, etc. It has two main problems in complex scenarios: Multiple APIs increase the cognitive load for AI Agents, potentially leading to reasoning errors, especially when the APIs have a strict calling order. Directly calling APIs is a way with too much freedom degrees, lacking constraints, potentially resulting in data errors. The way Agents interact with APIs reminds me of how human interacts with computers in old days. A guy faces a black and thick screen and types the keyboard, while looking up commands in a manual. Not just Agent, we also faces these two problems. Then a technique that surprised Steve Jobs comes up: Graphical User Interface (GUI). Since then, most of us no longer directly interact with command lines (a kind of API). We interact with API through GUI. GUI generally solved these two problems by constraining interaction to reduce cognitive load and degrees of freedom. This is why Agents also need GUI-like tools. I prefer calling it Agentic User Interface (AUI).
