An AI that does work, not just chats.
An agent is an AI you can hand a whole job to, not just a question. Instead of “what should I cook?”, it's “every morning, check these emails and tell me which ones matter.” The word sounds technical, but the idea is simple: it can do work for you, take steps, and come back with a result — like a new assistant you can trust with a task.
