AI Tools Explained: How AI Actually Takes Action

How do AI models actually use tools to search the web, call APIs, read files, and execute code? In this video, you'll learn how AI tools work and how function calling allows AI systems to interact with external software. *What you'll learn:* What AI tools are and how they work How an AI model decides to call a tool Function calling explained simply How AI systems use APIs, web search, files, and code execution How tool results return to the AI model How AI agents use tools to complete tasks *How AI tool calling works:* User Request → AI Model → Tool Call → Application Executes the Tool → Results Return to the Model → Final Answer You'll also learn the difference between an AI model, an AI tool, and an AI agent, with a practical example that makes the process easy to understand. This video is part of our AI Foundations series, where we explain artificial intelligence, large language models (LLMs), AI skills, AI agents, and the technology behind modern AI systems in simple terms. If you're learning AI, exploring AI agents, or building software with AI, this video will help you understand what happens behind the scenes.
