AI Agents Explained: How Autonomous Systems Actually Work
AI agents are more than chatbots with tool access. They are systems that can interpret goals, decide what to do next, use tools, observe results, and continue working toward an outcome. This guide explains how AI agents actually work, the architecture behind them, where autonomy comes from, and how to build agentic systems that are reliable enough for production.
