Agents
AI agent
An AI system that pursues a goal over several steps, deciding which actions to take, using tools and checking its own results.
Where a chatbot answers one message, an agent might search, read files, write and run code, and revise until the task is done. Agents are more capable but use far more tokens, so model choice and cost matter more.
