It\u2019s exactly what happens after the conversation. A chatbot has the potential to understand a request and provide information. On the other hand, an AI agent takes that request as a goal, decides what information it exactly needs, chooses the right tools, performs several actions, and works toward completing the task.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_an_AI_Agent\"><\/span><strong>What Is an AI Agent?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An AI agent is a goal-oriented system that combines an AI model with reasoning, planning, memory, tools, APIs, and workflow logic. It can decompose a complex request into smaller stages, communicate with external systems and assess the outcomes, and repeat until the request is finished or requires human intervention.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, instead of just answering a query about the refund, one of the agents can verify the order, check the refund policy, get the customer&#8217;s details, and begin the process of making the refund. If there are exceptions, the agent can then pass the case to a live person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"AI_Agent_vs_Chatbot\"><\/span><strong>AI Agent vs Chatbot<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Capability<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Chatbot<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>AI Agent<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Understand a request<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u2713<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u2713<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Retrieve information<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u2713<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u2713<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Use tools and APIs<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Limited<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u2713<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Plan multiple actions<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Limited<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u2713<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Change or update systems<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Limited<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u2713<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Complete a workflow<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Limited<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u2713<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_AI_Agents_Automate_Business_Workflows\"><\/span><strong>How Do AI Agents Automate Business Workflows?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>AI agents automate workflows by understanding business goals and determining the steps needed to complete them.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They can retrieve information, use connected tools, take actions, verify results, and involve a human when required.
