There's a lot of disagreement about what "agent" means. As far as I can tell it is the same as AI chat, but with a really long response time.

- verdverm 1y agoI have not seen discrepancy in what "agent" means in the AI space. At the top is generally a chat model. Underneath are tools for (i.e.) working with files, MCP servers for more complex actions, and even more models for specialized tasks. It takes longer because there is more going on under the hood
- zachwills 1y agoYep, agreed with you that agent generally means an LLM with access to tools it knows how to use (like MCPs) that can go relatively far/deep with guidance (minimal or otherwise).
