🧠 Agent: The Brain Behind Intelligent AI Workflows

Understanding AI Agents: Building Intelligent Workflows for Modern Assistants

An Agent in the AI assistant context acts as the brain, taking actions based on user input and orchestrating workflows using tools and data. It doesn’t just reply — it thinks, plans, and makes decisions. The Agent processes queries, determines actions (e.g., fetching weather data, querying databases), and manages the tools to deliver results. This enables flexibility and autonomy, making it scalable for diverse queries.
