AI Agents Explained

SMRTR summary

AI agents differ from chatbots by continuously looping through tasks until completion, using tools like file reading and command execution to autonomously solve problems rather than just providing one-time responses. While chatbots give instructions and stop, agents think, act, observe results, and repeat until the job is finished, though they can fail by looping forever or making compounding mistakes.
