[AI SHAPERS 2025] The AI Agent, Agent Creator: The Digital Companion for Distributed Intelligence - Lucien Jeanprêtre

An agent that accompanies and guides anyone wanting to create their own agents. Interactive and user-friendly, the agent handles the writing of the agentic algorithm. It describes the actions that the computer must perform. It serves as the dialogue interface to facilitate human-computer interaction.

In the age of widespread artificial intelligence, a new type of digital assistant is emerging: the AI Agent, which creates AI agents. More than just a tool, this metacreative agent presents itself as an interactive facilitator, an algorithmic architect, and a human-machine mediator, guiding each user in the design, creation, and deployment of their own intelligent agents.

Designed to be accessible to everyone, this AI agent can interact naturally in human language. Thanks to its fluid and intuitive conversational interface, it lowers technical barriers, making AI agent creation as simple as having a conversation. Whether the user is a novice or an expert, the agent adapts to their skill level, providing the necessary explanations, advice, and suggestions at each stage of the process.

At the heart of its mission, the AI agent is responsible for writing the agentic algorithm, that is, the logic that will guide the future agent's behavior. It asks the user targeted questions: "What is the purpose of your agent? What information will it need to process? What actions will it need to perform?" Based on these answers, it formalizes the functions, conditions, objectives, and rules that will define the agent to be created. It then proposes an optimized logical structure, integrating perception, reasoning, decision-making, and action capabilities.

The AI agent doesn't just code; it explains, justifies, and documents every choice. It acts as a pedagogical mentor, illustrating key concepts of agentic intelligence (intentions, plans, memory, environment, feedback loop, etc.) to enhance user understanding. It offers pre-existing models, custom examples, and advanced customization options to accelerate development while maintaining a high level of control.

Through its ability to coordinate technical, functional, and ethical dimensions, this agent plays a central role in the co-design of responsible agents. It provides safeguards to ensure the security, transparency, and traceability of automated decisions. It also guides the user on best practices regarding interoperability, scalability, and modularity.

As a dialogue interface between humans and machines, it embodies a new form of symbiotic relationship. It translates human intentions into executable logical structures, while simultaneously making the internal mechanisms of digital intelligence comprehensible. It acts as an interpreter between natural language and formal languages, between functional imagination and computational reality.

Finally, the AI agent-creating agent is not static. It learns, improves, and adapts according to the projects, preferences, and cognitive styles of its users. It can evolve into a cooperative metasystem, facilitating the generation of specialized agents, their integration into intelligent networks, and their integration into complex human ecosystems.

This type of agent ushers in an era where everyone can become the designer of their own digital assistants, building a distributed, personalized, and controlled intelligence. It is simultaneously a tool, a partner, and an educator, making AI not only programmable but also appropriable.

An example: creating a website. This interactive AI agent, dedicated to website creation, guides you from idea to live site, without the need for coding. You describe your project, it designs the structure, writes the content, chooses the design, generates the code (HTML, CSS, JS), and guides you through the hosting process. A true human-machine interface, it transforms your intentions into a clear, modern, and functional website, tailored to your needs and your audience.
