I haven't seen the definition of an agent, in the paper. Do they differentiate agents from generic online chat interfaces?

  An agent takes actions. Chat bots only return text.

    "takes actions" is automation and its is hardly new. Code was always taking actions over the decades. Interpreting and generating text belongs to chat bots. What's new with agents?

      Your code only takes actions prescribed by you. The agent does not; it picks the tool. I thought this was too obvious to point out.
