What is AI Agents?
Autonomous AI systems that can plan, use tools, and execute multi-step tasks without constant human oversight. Unlike simple chatbots that respond to single prompts, agents can break down goals into subtasks, call APIs, browse the web, and iterate on their own output. For Web3 builders, agents can monitor on-chain data, draft governance proposals, or manage community moderation automatically.

In plain words
"Think of it like hiring a proactive assistant who doesn't just answer but plans, acts, and loops back."
How it works
Key takeaways
-
Autonomous planning + tool use + memory
-
Loops until the task is complete
-
More powerful but less predictable than single-shot LLM
Real-world example
You say 'Research competitor pricing for AI tools.' The agent plans: search the web, extract pricing from 10 sites, compile a comparison table, and draft a summary. It decides which tools to call and when — autonomously.
