This chapter introduces AI agents, explaining their ability to handle complex tasks autonomously. It contrasts them with simple chatbots and highlights their capacity for information gathering, decision-making, and action.
AI agents are software capable of performing tasks without constant human instruction.
They excel at complex tasks beyond basic commands, such as analyzing medical data to predict conditions and suggest treatments.
AI agents are distinct from RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) systems because they learn, adapt, and manage multiple tasks concurrently.
