Agents & Automation

Tool Use

The ability of an AI to use external tools, calculators, search engines, databases, APIs.

Definition

Tool use extends an AI's capabilities beyond what it can do with language alone. By equipping a model with tools (a web search API, a calculator, a database query interface, a code execution environment) the model can perform tasks that require external information or computation. This is fundamental to building AI agents that interact with the real world rather than just generating text.

We translate AI concepts into measurable business results. No Coaley Peak setup fee or retainer; third-party costs are disclosed before engagement.
