AI Agent
An AI agent is autonomous software that can perform tasks, make decisions, and interact with users without human intervention. In business contexts, AI agents handle phone calls, book appointments, answer questions, and manage customer relationships automatically.
How It Works
An AI agent uses large language models to understand context and intent, then takes autonomous actions through connected tools and integrations. When a customer calls, the agent understands the request, accesses business systems (calendar, CRM, knowledge base), and completes tasks like booking or follow-up — all without human intervention.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can an AI agent do for my business?
An AI agent can answer your business phone 24/7, book appointments, send follow-up SMS messages, answer customer questions from your knowledge base, and update your CRM — all automatically without human intervention.
Is an AI agent the same as a chatbot?
No. A chatbot follows scripted flows and handles text only. An AI agent is autonomous — it understands context, makes decisions, takes actions across multiple systems, and handles voice calls with natural conversation.
