Some applications will require not just a predetermined chain of calls to LLMs/other tools,
but potentially an unknown chain that depends on the user input.
but potentially an unknown chain that depends on the user's input.
In these types of chains, there is a “agent” which has access to a suite of tools.
Depending on the user input, the agent can then decide which, if any, of these tools to call.

"Chains allow us to combine multiple components together to create a single, coherent application. For example, we can create a chain that takes user input, format it with a PromptTemplate, and then passes the formatted response to an LLM. We can build more complex chains by combining multiple chains together, or by combining chains with other components.\n"
