Welcome back to me. I took a month off to relax, recover, and give your inbox a little less of a strain. Let’s get back to it.
AI agents are a rapidly evolving technology poised to transform how humans interact with computers and software. These agents are not simply chatbots or single-purpose tools, but rather, they are intended to be autonomous entities that can perceive their environment, make decisions, and take actions to achieve specific goals. They represent a shift from traditional software applications to more dynamic and personalized forms of computing.
At its core, an AI agent is a type of software that responds to natural language and can perform various tasks based on its understanding of the user. Unlike bots that are confined to a single application and require explicit instructions, agents are proactive, capable of learning user preferences and patterns, and can make suggestions before being asked ... They can operate across multiple applications and improve over time through their ability to remember past activities and recognize intent.
My favorite example – You want to take a vacation. Hotel, airfare, event tickets, tours. In theory your agent will …
-
Book the best deal on your airline of choice, complete with aisle seat.
-
Book the best deal with your hotel(s) of choice depending on number of destinations, of course.
-
Rental car, show tickets, and tours are all negotiated.
You are left with an itinerary with all planning completed.
You might ask, “Who is my agent interacting and negotiating with?” With all of the vendor agents, of course. Welcome to your new audience you‘ll be advertising to and currying favor with – bits of computer programming.
