How is an AI agent more than a script or rule‑based bot?

An agent is nothing but the embodiment of the task at hand.
 Marvin Minsky

How It Works:
AI agents sense their environment, evaluate goals via learned policies, then act and learn from feedback, in contrast to fixed, rule‑only bots.

Key Benefits:

  • Adaptive behavior: Learns from new data in real time.
  • Goal‑driven: Operates autonomously on long‑running tasks.
  • Scalable: One agent design covers many workflows.

Real‑World Use Cases:

  • Dynamic customer triage: Prioritizes tickets based on urgency.
  • Autonomous monitoring: Watches supply levels and reorders parts.
