Definition

What is AI agent?

An AI agent is a program built around a language model that can take actions, not just answer. It receives a goal, decides which tools to call, such as a calendar, CRM or email, observes the result and continues until the task is done or it needs a human.

Agent versus assistant

An assistant replies. An agent acts. The difference is tools: an agent has permission to read and write in your systems, which is why scoping those permissions is the first design decision.

In practice most business agents are narrow: one job, three to six tools, clear stop conditions. Broad, do-anything agents are harder to trust and rarely worth it for an SME.

Frequently asked questions

Can an AI agent make mistakes in my CRM?

It can, which is why we give agents the narrowest permissions that do the job, log every action, and route low-confidence cases to a person before anything is written.
