AI agent

An AI agent or agentic AI is an artificial intelligence program that can pursue goals, use software or other tools, and take actions with some level of autonomy. Agentic AI contrasts with tool AI, which performs a narrow, specified task such as answering questions (as with chatbots like ChatGPT) or traditional machine learning algorithms.
