A chatbot responds to a prompt. An AI agent is given an objective, then plans and carries out the steps needed to reach it. It can look things up in your knowledge base, call approved APIs, fill in records, draft documents and report what it did.
We design agents around a narrow, well-defined responsibility, such as qualifying inbound requests, preparing research briefs or updating CRM records, and give them only the tools and permissions that job requires. That focus makes agents more reliable, easier to test and simpler to govern.
