AI Agent is the term used in the modern LLM era to describe systems where a language model sits at the centre as the decision-maker, taking multiple steps toward a goal and invoking tools as needed. It is essentially the LLM-centric refresh of the classic Agent concept — the difference from a plain chatbot is multi-step Planning, interaction with external tools (Tool Use, Function Calling) and memory structures like Short-Term Memory and Long-Term Memory. Anthropic's 'Building Effective Agents' essay and OpenAI's agent documentation are concrete examples of the industry's effort to establish norms in this space. Through 2024-2025, the AI-agent category has been one of the hottest themes in both products and investment.
