The rise of AI agents marks a significant shift in the tech industry, moving beyond traditional AI models to focus on their practical applications. Industry leaders like OpenAI, Microsoft, and Salesforce are predicting that AI agents will soon integrate into the workforce, enhancing productivity and efficiency. This trend is exemplified by the recent launch of Manus, an autonomous AI agent by the Chinese startup Monica, designed to tackle complex tasks without human intervention.
AI agents differ from AI assistants and bots in their ability to operate independently and make decisions. While AI assistants help with general tasks and bots facilitate specific interactions, AI agents are built to achieve complex goals autonomously. The ongoing developments in AI technology, including OpenAI's new tools for creating custom agents, highlight the growing importance of AI agents in various sectors.
