agents are the new apps and we expect someday for there to be thousands of agents available we want a thousand agents to bloom so I think we're going to live in a world where there are going to be hundreds of millions of billions of different AI agents eventually probably more AI agents than there are people in the world for the very first time this is going to be an in Industry of skills and you capture that that phrase and you uh you call it agents but it's going to be for the very first time agents
sitting on top of tools if you're here it's probably because you've been hearing a lot about AI agents lately maybe you've even checked out some other videos that got way too Technical and you thought why don't you explain this to me like I'm five well guess what that's exactly what I'm going to do I'm going to give you the most straightforward real world explanation of what an AI agent is so what is it you probably already know that AI stands for artificial intelligence but here's where it gets interesting AI by itself is like raw brain
power it's got all this potential but it's not really useful until you give it a job enter the AI agent think of AI as the genius with a million ideas and the AI agent is the one who actually gets stuff done while AI is all about smarts an AI agent is the Practical Hands-On version it's like giving that genius a task and saying okay now go do something useful with all that brain power the AI agent takes the intelligence of AI and turns it into action whether it's answering your questions automating your work or handling
your to-do list it's the difference between knowing how to do something and actually doing it so while AI is the brains the AI agent is the one rolling up its sleeves and making things happen here is the one two three of AI agents number one they understand AI agents listen to what you're asking or needing number two they think they process this information and figure out the best way to help you and number three they act finally they deliver what you need whether it's an answer a solution or help completing a task now how do
they work imagine your parents are heading out for the evening and leaving the babysitter in charge remember you're only five they don't just walk out the door they give them instructions what time you need to go to bed what you can have for snack and what to do in case of an emergency that's exactly how AI agents are trained developers provide these agents with detailed instructions using data so they know exactly how to respond in different situations some Agents come pre-programmed with basic instructions like a babysitter who's already experi experienced others can be customized to
fit your needs like giving the babysitter special rules for kids once set up these AI agents handle tasks just as smoothly as a well-informed babysitter freeing you up to focus on other things so what does an AI agent actually look like when we talk about what an AI agent looks like it's helpful to think of it as a combination of two things an interface and a work flow the interface is how you interact with the AI agent maybe through a chat window a voice assistant or even a button on a website but behind that interface
is where the real magic happens and that's the workflow imagine a flowchart you ask the AI agent a question or give it a command through the interface that's the starting point from there the AI agent follows a series of steps or nodes in a workflow these nodes could involve accessing information from a database making a decision based on what it finds or even performing a task like sending an email the nodes in this workflow might change depending on what you ask or what the AI agent needs to do next but it's all behind the scenes
so while you only see the interface what's really happening is that the AI agent is working through a whole process to get you the best result now here's a simple four-step illustration of that process the first is the input you ask a question or give a command the second is processing the AI agent thinks about what you've asked and searches for the best way to respond number three is action the AI agent gives you an answer finds information or performs a task and fourth is learning the more you use it the smarter it gets learning
from past interactions to improve so why is it important AI agents are about to trigger a seismic shift in how we live and work especially for local businesses and those who support them imagine AI handling routine tasks freeing business owners to focus on growth and Innovation for local businesses this could mean smarter customer service and more efficient operations while agencies and service providers can deliver more value with less effort this isn't just like another tech upgrade it's likely the biggest transformation we'll see in our lifetime those who Embrace AI agents now will have a major
advantage while those who don't risk being left behind in a rapidly changing World in short AI agents are set to revolutionize how work gets done and the impact will be massive I hope this video helped you learn the basics of AI in a way that's easy to understand I know there's a lot of complicated stuff out there so if you like simple explanations I'd really appreciate it if you could give this video a like subscribe to our Channel and hit that notification Bell if you want to learn more and see how AI is helping businesses
with things like customer service sales and project planning we give you even a live demo of how AI agents work check out this video here so there you have it an AI agent is a smart digital assistant that understands thinks and acts to help you get things done whether at home or work and remember this is just the beginning these AI agents are going to be everywhere soon making life easier in ways we're just stting to imagine again if you found this helpful please hit that like button and subscribe for more practical content that breaks
down Tech into real world terms share it with your friends too because now you've got the clearest understanding of AI agents out there good luck on your journey
