AI Agent
Autonomous AI system that reasons, plans, and uses tools to complete complex tasks.
An AI Agent is an LLM-based system capable of breaking down a goal into steps, deciding which tools to use (API, databases, code), executing actions, and iterating. Unlike a chatbot, it has operational autonomy. Examples: AutoGPT, sales agents, research assistants.
