Webinar Summary
What Are AI Agents?
AI agents are autonomous systems that can perceive their environment, make decisions, and take actions to achieve specific goals. Unlike traditional AI that responds to individual prompts, agents can:
- • Plan multi-step tasks and execute them independently
- • Use tools and APIs to interact with external systems
- • Learn from feedback and adapt their behavior
- • Maintain context and memory across interactions
How Agents Differ from Traditional AI
| Aspect | Traditional AI | AI Agents |
|---|---|---|
| Interaction | Single-turn responses | Multi-turn, stateful |
| Planning | None - responds to input | Decomposes goals into steps |
| Tools | Cannot use external tools | Can call APIs, query databases |
| Memory | Limited context window | Persistent memory & learning |
Real-World Use Cases
Customer Service Agent
An AI agent that can handle complex customer inquiries by checking order status, processing returns, updating account information, and escalating to humans when needed—all in a single conversation without pre-defined scripts.
Research Analyst
An agent that continuously monitors industry news, analyzes competitor movements, summarizes relevant information, and generates weekly reports for the strategy team.
DevOps Assistant
An agent that monitors system metrics, identifies anomalies, creates tickets, suggests fixes, and can even implement approved changes through your deployment pipeline.
Implementation Considerations
When to Use Agents
- • Tasks requiring multiple steps and decisions
- • Processes that benefit from autonomy
- • Situations where context needs to be maintained
- • Workflows involving multiple tools or systems
When NOT to Use Agents
- • Simple, single-step tasks (overkill)
- • High-stakes decisions requiring human judgment
- • Processes with strict regulatory requirements
- • When you need predictable, deterministic outputs
Getting Started
If you are interested in experimenting with AI agents:
- 1. Start small: Pick a contained task with clear success criteria
- 2. Define guardrails: Set clear boundaries on what the agent can and cannot do
- 3. Plan for supervision: Build in human oversight and approval checkpoints
- 4. Measure everything: Track performance, errors, and business impact
- 5. Iterate: Use feedback to improve the agent over time
The Future
AI agents represent a fundamental shift in how we think about automation. Instead of programming specific behaviors, we are defining goals and letting AI figure out how to achieve them. This opens up possibilities for automation that were previously impractical, but it also requires new approaches to security, governance, and human-AI collaboration.
