AI & Automationadvanced
AI Agent
Definition
An AI system that can autonomously complete multi-step tasks by planning, using tools, searching the web, and taking actions, beyond simple question-and-answer responses.
Why it matters
AI agents represent the next wave of automation. Instead of manually chaining tools together, an agent can research, draft, send, and follow up on your behalf with minimal input.
Example
You instruct an AI agent: "Research the top 10 sustainable packaging suppliers, compare their MOQs and pricing, and compile a summary table." It browses the web, extracts data, and returns a clean report.
