Semantic Routing
Semantic routing is the practice of classifying user input by its semantic meaning and intent to direct it to the appropriate handler, agent, or response strategy — enabling a single AI interface to manage diverse types of requests intelligently.
理解する Semantic Routing
A general-purpose AI assistant like GAIA receives vastly different types of input: questions about current tasks, requests to send emails, queries about calendar availability, commands to create automations, and general knowledge questions. Each type benefits from a different handling strategy. Semantic routing sits at the entry point of the system. When a message arrives, the router classifies its intent — is this a tool-use request? A knowledge question? A command to execute a workflow? A clarifying question? — and dispatches it to the appropriate handler with the appropriate context. Routing can be rule-based (if the message mentions 'email', route to email agent), classifier-based (a model trained to classify intent categories), or LLM-based (asking the LLM itself to determine what type of request this is). LLM-based routing is more flexible but adds latency; classifier-based routing is faster but requires training data. Good routing dramatically improves response quality and efficiency. Sending a tool-use request to a general-purpose handler wastes tokens on unnecessary context. Routing it directly to the relevant specialist gives it the domain-specific tools and context it needs.
GAIAの活用方法 Semantic Routing
GAIA uses semantic routing to direct incoming messages to the appropriate processing path. Email-related requests go to the email agent with Gmail tool access. Calendar requests go to the calendar agent with Google Calendar integration. General knowledge questions bypass tool-use overhead. This routing layer makes GAIA fast and precise across diverse request types.

Agent Loop
An agent loop is the iterative execution cycle of an AI agent in which it reasons about the current state, selects and executes an action (often a tool call), observes the result, and repeats until the task is complete or a stopping condition is reached.
Supervisor Agent
A supervisor agent is an AI agent that coordinates the work of multiple specialized subagents, breaking complex tasks into components, delegating each to the appropriate agent, and synthesizing their outputs into a coherent result.

Function Calling
Function calling is a feature of AI models that allows them to generate structured, machine-readable invocations of predefined functions, enabling AI systems to reliably call external APIs and tools with the correct arguments.

Prompt engineering is the practice of designing and refining inputs to AI language models to reliably elicit desired outputs, shaping model behavior without modifying the underlying weights.
