What is an agent?
An agent is an AI program that performs tasks or makes decisions based on input data.
An agent is a type of AI that can act on its own to perform specific tasks. It processes information from its environment and uses that data to make decisions.
For example, a virtual assistant like Siri is an agent that listens to your commands and responds by performing tasks such as setting reminders or playing music.
Agents can be simple or complex, depending on how they analyze data and interact with users. They often use algorithms to improve their performance over time.
Example
Siri sets a reminder when you say, 'Remind me to call John at 3 PM.'
