AI agents are digital entities that can act **autonomously** without the intervention of humans. An agent typically has a defined role in a given context, like humans do. Examples are **AI Sales**, an **AI Lawyer**, an **AI Customer Support Rep**, or an **AI HR agent**.
Because AI agents have a different set of capabilities than software tools, they have a very high level of **autonomy** (can act by themselves), and because they can make decisions and act by themselves they can have a lot more impact than software tools in our daily lives and work.
