What Are AI Agents? Beyond Simple Automation

Many people confuse chatbots and AI agents — they may look similar but differ greatly in capability. AI agents combine automation with intelligence — they observe, learn from data, and adapt to business environments, driving consistent productivity improvements.

They are key to AI workflow automation, managing complex logic across departments and working as tireless AI co-workers.
