An AI agent differs from a regular AI assistant mainly in autonomy and task execution. An AI assistant typically responds to prompts, provides information, or performs individual actions. An AI agent can interpret a goal, plan multiple steps, use APIs and external tools, access business data, make decisions, and execute workflows with limited human intervention. Agents are designed for ongoing, goal-oriented tasks, while assistants are generally interaction-driven.
At Osiz Technologies, we develop AI agent solutions for autonomous, tool-connected business workflows.
