AI Agents are intelligent software systems capable of independent decision-making, task planning, and execution without constant human input. Think of tools like:
AutoGPT
OpenAgents
LangChain Agents
BabyAGI These agents use AI models combined with memory, tools, and planning strategies to simulate human-like behavior for task completion.
