What are AI Agents?
Discover how AI agents use artificial intelligence to perform tasks autonomously, make decisions, and interact with systems and users to drive business automation and efficiency.
AI Agents are autonomous software entities that use artificial intelligence to perform tasks, make decisions, and interact with systems and users without constant human intervention. At Elatify, we specialize in developing and implementing AI agents as part of our comprehensive automation solutions.
Unlike traditional automation that follows predefined rules, AI agents can adapt, learn, and make intelligent decisions based on context, data, and objectives. They represent the next evolution of business automation, combining the efficiency of automation with the intelligence of artificial intelligence.
How AI Agents Work
AI agents operate through a sophisticated framework that enables autonomous decision-making and task execution:
- Perception: Gather information from various sources including sensors, databases, and user inputs
- Reasoning: Process information using AI algorithms to understand context and make decisions
- Planning: Develop strategies and action plans to achieve specific goals or objectives
- Action: Execute tasks and interact with systems, applications, and users
- Learning: Analyze outcomes and improve performance through machine learning
