What are AI Agents?
An AI Agent is an advanced software program capable of interacting with its environment, processing data, and making decisions autonomously, without human intervention. They go beyond simple automation tools due to their dynamic adaptation capabilities. AI Agents excel at performing repetitive, rule-based tasks with high efficiency. These agents are designed to work across numerous tasks and domains, orchestrating activities without continuous human guidance.
How are AI Agents different from a chatbot like ChatGPT?
AI Agents are more complex and autonomous than chatbots, capable of performing a wider range of tasks and making independent decisions. Chatbots are designed for limited, often predefined, conversational interactions. An example of a chatbot is a Telegram Bot. AI Agents can be used to automate tasks like security operations, governance, risk, and compliance, as well as threat hunting.
What is the difference between AI Agents and co-pilots?
Co-pilots fall somewhere between AI Agents and chatbots. They are collaborative tools that aid humans by augmenting their abilities. They enhance human decision-making by offering suggestions, managing workflows, and automating simpler tasks. They are not designed to act independently for extended periods. An example of a co-pilot is GitHub Copilot.

Where are AI Agents hosted?
AI Agents can be deployed in several ways. They can be run in the cloud, or orchestrated locally, if sufficient compute is available to do so. They can also be integrated into SaaS software.
