Key terms for AI agents by niche. Click a term for the full definition and related niches.
An autonomous software system that performs tasks on your behalf—researching, communicating, analyzing, or executing workflows—using large language models and integrations. Unlike simple chatbots, agents operate 24/7 and can complete multi-step tasks without constant human input.
Setup and configuration without writing code. You connect tools (CRM, help desk, etc.) and configure behavior in the product's UI.
Resolving customer issues before a support ticket is created. Tools answer from your knowledge base in chat or email so fewer issues reach human agents.
A sales role focused on outbound prospecting, lead qualification, and booking meetings for account executives. Automation can augment SDR capacity by handling research, outreach, and first-touch at scale.
An AI assistant that works alongside you in a tool (e.g. GitHub Copilot in the IDE). Copilots suggest and complete; they typically don't run fully autonomously. 'Agent' often implies more autonomy and multi-step execution.
