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?
