What is an AI agent?
An AI agent sets goals, plans, uses tools (API, database, email), and produces results. Chatbots answer questions; agents complete tasks.
Business process use cases
- Reporting agent: Pull data → analyze → generate PDF/email report
- Customer onboarding: Form → CRM record → welcome email → calendar
- Content production pipeline: Research → draft → edit → publish
- Support triage: Classify ticket → prioritize → route
Security and control framework
Human-in-the-loop approval points, action logging, rate limiting, and scope restriction are mandatory in agent systems.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between AI agent and RPA?
