AI Agent
An autonomous AI system configured to perform specific tasks with minimal human intervention.
Also known as: autonomous agent, AI bot, task agent
An AI agent is an autonomous software system that uses AI -- typically a language model or model combination -- to perceive its environment, reason about a goal, take actions, and complete tasks with minimal human intervention per step.
In the context of AI commerce, an AI agent is a deployable unit of task automation. Examples include customer service agents, lead qualification agents, research agents, and SEO analysis agents. When packaged with documentation, system prompts, and integration guides, an agent becomes a sellable AI asset.
