What is an AI Agent?

An Agent is a software entity that can take actions autonomously on behalf of a user, often across multiple systems, without requiring constant human intervention.

Agents are designed to handle complex workflows by making decisions and executing tasks independently, freeing users from repetitive or time-consuming activities.

AI agents work by understanding user goals, breaking them down into actionable steps, and executing those steps across various tools and platforms while adapting to changing conditions.

A recruiting agent that screens resumes, schedules interviews, and drafts follow-up emails automatically, managing the entire hiring workflow without human oversight.

Agents often leverage Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, and API integrations to interact with multiple systems effectively.
