What are AI agents?
AI agents are AI systems that take a goal, break it into steps, use tools such as a browser or code editor, and return finished work. A chatbot answers a message; an agent carries out a task. For startups, safe use means clear goals, review of the output and approval before anything leaves the system.
- A goal, not just a prompt.
- Tools, such as a computer, browser or code editor.
- Steps taken by the agent.
- A result you review.
Frequently asked questions
Are AI agents safe for a startup?
With limits, yes. Keep agents on isolated computers, require approval for actions that leave the system, and review their work.
