What Is an Agent, Actually?

A chatbot tells you how to do the job. An agent goes and does it, and that changes what you can hand over and what can go wrong.

Most people meet the word agent in a headline or a product launch and never get a plain answer to what it means. So they either avoid agents or hand one a vague job with no checks, and the result looks finished whether it is right or not.

This course gives you a working model that fits any product. You learn the four parts inside every agent, what agents do well today and where they still slip, and why their mistakes look exactly like their successes. Then you set how closely to watch a job from two questions, and send your first errand with a template you can reuse.

Who it's for

Business owners: hear about agents everywhere and want to know what they can safely hand over.

Managers: need to judge agent tools their team is trying, without learning a product first.

Anyone already using AI chat: wants to move from getting answers to getting jobs done.
