Conversations I’m having with AI experts seem to be pointing in the same direction. Chatbots were a great introduction to what AI is and how it can help us in our daily lives. But they rely on back-and-forth conversations. Tech companies now have their eyes on the next frontier: AI agents.
By AI agent I’m referring to a tool that performs a set of tasks autonomously on your behalf. They do require an initial set-up, but once you see that they’ve grasped their instructions, you can leave AI agents to their own devices while you sit back and watch the results trickle in.
