Autonomous agent
AI
An AI agent that can complete tasks without step-by-step instructions, deciding what to do next based on the goal and what it observes.
For example, an agent might be allowed to answer order status questions and skip subscription orders on its own, but need a teammate's approval before issuing any refund over $50.
The right level of autonomy saves the most time while keeping people in control of the decisions that matter.
