What Are AI Agents?

AI Agents are autonomous software programs that can perceive their environment, make decisions, and take actions to achieve specific goals.

They’re like digital teammates who can:

  • 🔍 Understand what you want (via natural language)

  • 🧠 Plan how to accomplish it (break down complex tasks)

  • ⚙️ Execute actions (call tools, APIs, or scripts)

  • 📈 Learn from outcomes (adjust behavior over time)

Real-world analogy:

Think of an AI Agent as a smart intern who can research a topic, send emails, analyze data, and coordinate with tools — and never takes a break.
