AI agents are systems that can take actions independently to achieve goals, not just generate text or images.
Unlike chatbots that just respond, AI agents can use tools, browse the web, write code, and interact with other systems. They break down complex tasks into steps and execute them.
Modern agents combine language models with the ability to call APIs and run programs.
