# What Are AI Agents?

**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.
