Agent AI is software that uses artificial intelligence to pursue specific goals by breaking them down into actionable tasks and engaging with digital resources and other agents. It is different from traditional AI in that it focuses on accomplishing goals rather than completing specific tasks. Despite the potential for autonomous operation, human intervention can be included. The key difference with agent AI is its goal-oriented nature. Instead of specifying tasks, users define goals and the agent determines the necessary tasks to achieve them. An example goal is launching a new online newsletter about agent AI.
