AI Agent
An AI system that can take actions and make decisions to accomplish goals.
In Plain English
An AI Agent is an AI system designed to act autonomously to achieve specific goals. Unlike chatbots that just respond to questions, agents can browse the web, use tools, write and execute code, and make decisions about what to do next. AI agents can book travel, research topics deeply, or complete multi-step work tasks with minimal human guidance.
💡Real-World Example
An AI agent might plan your vacation by searching flights, comparing hotels, checking reviews, and making reservations — all from a single request.
