AI agent
A model that can use tools and take several steps on its own to reach a goal.
A chatbot answers; an agent acts. An agent can search, read files, run commands or fill in forms, then decide the next step from what it sees. The more an agent may do, the more its permission limits, step log and human approval points matter.
Also called: AI agent, agent
