Demystifying AI Agents with Turtle & Gemma

A tutorial post that uses the Python turtle graphics module and Gemma to walk through what an AI agent actually does at a basic level. The framing is approachable and the analogy is concrete enough that someone who has never wired up an LLM call could follow it. That is also the ceiling: this is entry-level explainer content, not a deep architectural breakdown. There is no novel technique, no production-grade pattern, and no code a working developer would not already know. Its value is narrow but real — it is a link you forward to a non-technical co-founder or junior hire who asks what agents are without wanting a research paper. Reservation: if the reader is already shipping code, this will not move the needle. -> Best for: technical PM or solo founder looking for a low-friction onboarding resource for a non-technical collaborator.
