AI Agents
30 articlesAutonomous AI that acts, not just answers
AI agents are autonomous systems that can plan, reason, and take actions across software and the web without continuous human instruction. Unlike chatbots that answer questions, agents complete entire workflows: booking meetings, writing and executing code, processing invoices, and coordinating with other agents. The enterprise adoption curve is accelerating, with Databricks reporting a 12x increase in production agent deployments in Q2 2026.
