The hottest term in the AI community recently is "Agent".
In simple terms, an AI Agent is an AI assistant that can autonomously perform tasks. It doesn't just answer questions; it can independently analyze, plan, and execute the entire task process.
For example:
Regular AI:
You say, "I want to book a flight to Shanghai next week"
At most, it will recommend a few flights.
AI Agent:
Checks your calendar for availability
Compares prices across platforms
Selects a flight based on your preferences
Completes the booking and payment directly
Can also help you arrange airport pickup and hotel
This is why Agents are considered the next big trend in AI.
