What is an AI agent? Everybody's throwing around this word, AI agent, AI agent. But nobody actually knows what an AI agent is. So think about it like this. Think of ChatGPT as a student. It waits for your question, it raises a hand and then gives you an answer. But an AI agent, the student, doesn't just answer you. They get up, they grab your wallet, they buy the supplies, set up the experiment, and then show you the results. That's the difference. An AI agent doesn't just talk. They act. They can send emails, they can schedule meetings, they can stay online, they can analyze data all while you're asleep. Think about someone who's working for you. 24.
