Definition
An AI agent is a software entity that operates autonomously within a defined environment to accomplish predefined objectives. It utilizes perception mechanisms to gather data, processes this information using reasoning models, and executes actions via actuators or APIs. Unlike passive models, agents can plan, learn from feedback, and adapt their behavior over time, making them suitable for complex tasks requiring decision-making and interaction with dynamic systems.
Summary
