# VSS Agents

Agents built using VSS are AI-powered agents that can perform workflows such as video search, summarization, and reporting through leveraging vision-based tools.

## Deployment Architecture

The VSS Agents are deployed along with the 2D Vision AI with Agents Profile.

![2D Vision AI with Agents Profile](/vss/_fern-img/a929a78493d7d96ea73108f2fc024f260a13abcdd9906421d2ca3f94e666f77e.webp)

Above shows Agents deployed with the 2D Vision AI with Agents Profile.

## Components

* **LLM** ([Nemotron-3.5-Lightning-30B-A3B](https://build.nvidia.com/nvidia/nemotron-3.5-lightning-30b-a3b)): Reasoning and report generation
* **VLM** ([Cosmos3 Nano Reasoner](https://build.nvidia.com/nvidia/cosmos3-nano-reasoner)): Video understanding
* **VSS Agent**: Orchestrates LLM/VLM to process events and generate reports
* **Reference UI**: Browser-based chat interface for agent conversations
