What is an AI agent?
If you're still confused, you're not alone. There is no universally agreed-upon definition of what an AI agent is.
If you’re still confused, you’re not alone. There is no universally agreed-upon definition of what an AI agent is.
Some prefer a narrower definition, where an AI agent must be fully autonomous, while others adopt a broader definition that includes human-in-the-loop systems.
In this video, we discuss one of the most common definitions of an AI agent:
AI Agent = AI Model + Tools + Memory
We also showcase a demo of a simple AI agent based on this definition.
Using a low-code platform, we then demonstrate how to build an AI email agent step by step in an agile way.
By the end of the video, you should have a clearer understanding of AI agents and their transformational potential.
Key Takeaways:
-
An AI agent can autonomously make decisions and utilise available tools to complete a task.
-
A tool can range from a simple API call to another service to a complex sub-agent or even a capability that controls a computer.
-
With the right tools, an AI agent can be very powerful.
-
An AI agent can operate fully autonomously or require human interaction.
-
We can build an AI agent that responds to instructions via a chat interface or one that autonomously replies to emails.
The question is:
How much autonomy are you ready to give to an AI agent?
