AI Agent

An AI agent is a software system that uses a language model to understand a task, take actions across your tools, and complete work autonomously, escalating to a human only when needed.

A good agent is grounded in your data, integrated with your systems, and bounded by guardrails so it acts safely. It reads context (an order, a ticket, a document), decides what to do, performs the action, and logs the result. Built well, it handles the repetitive 70–80% of a workflow end to end.
