AI Agent
An advanced AI system that can make decisions, use software tools, and take actions on its own to achieve a goal.
In Plain English
While a chatbot just talks to you, an AI agent actually does things for you. Think of it like a digital personal assistant. You give it a goal, and it figures out the steps, opens web browsers, clicks buttons, and uses apps to get the job done. Instead of asking an AI "How do I book a flight?", you tell an AI agent "Book me a flight to New York," and it goes and buys the ticket.
Real-World Example
An AI agent that automatically monitors your email, identifies bills, logs into your bank account, and schedules the payments.
