An AI agent is a model given tools, a goal, and permission to loop until it thinks it is done. That last part is what separates this category from an ordinary chatbot, and it is also where the difficulty lives: an agent that can browse, call an API, or write to your files can also do all of that wrongly, repeatedly, without asking. The products here vary less in model quality than in how much control they give you over that loop — what the agent may touch, when it must stop and check with a human, and what you can see after the fact.

Frequently Asked Questions About Agents AI Tools
What's the difference between an agent and a chatbot?
A chatbot answers once and waits for you. An agent decides what to do next on its own — search, call a tool, read the result, try again — and keeps going until it hits its goal or a stop condition. The practical consequence is that agents can complete multi-step work unattended, and can also burn through API credit or take an unwanted action without you noticing.
What should I check before letting an agent access my accounts?
Three things: what scopes the integration requests (read-only is very different from write), whether there is a human-approval step before irreversible actions like sending, deleting or paying, and whether you can see a log of everything it did. If a product cannot show you a step-by-step trace of a completed run, you cannot audit a mistake after it happens.
Why do agent costs vary so much between runs?
Because an agent decides its own number of steps. A task that resolves in three tool calls costs a fraction of the same task when the agent loops twenty times trying to recover from a bad result. Look for per-run step limits and spend caps — they matter far more to your monthly bill than the headline price per thousand tokens.
