Confused about the difference between chatbots, AI assistants, and AI agents? You're not alone. In this episode, we'll through the marketing hype to explain what AI agents actually are and why they're fundamentally different from the AI tools you're already using.

We explore the spectrum from simple rule-based chatbots to sophisticated autonomous agents that can plan, execute, and adapt – like the difference between a GPS that gives directions and a self-driving car that actually gets you there. You'll learn about real-world applications already in use, the technical challenges developers face, and what this means for the future of work.

Whether you're curious about experimenting with AI agents or wondering how they might change your industry, this episode breaks down everything you need to know about one of tech's most important emerging trends. Plus, we share practical advice on how to start exploring these tools safely and effectively.


Perfect for: Tech professionals, business leaders, and anyone curious about the next wave of AI automation.
