AI Agent

What it is

An AI system that can take actions autonomously, not just generate text. It can use tools, make decisions, and execute multi-step workflows with minimal human intervention.

Why it matters

AI agents are the next frontier, but they're also where the hype is thickest. Most businesses aren't ready for autonomous AI agents. Start with AI-assisted workflows (human in the loop) before considering fully autonomous agents.
