Frequently Asked Questions
What are AI agents for business?
AI agents are autonomous software programs that perceive their environment, make decisions, and take actions. Unlike chatbots, they use tools, access your systems, follow multi-step workflows, and collaborate with other agents — functioning like digital employees 24/7.
How do teams of AI agents work together?
Agent teams operate like a coordinated workforce. An email agent triages messages, a document agent processes attachments, a sales agent qualifies leads, and a compliance agent reviews contracts. They share context and hand off tasks automatically.
Why is custom-built AI better than generic tools?
Custom agents are trained on your data, follow your processes, integrate with your systems, and enforce your compliance rules. A custom email agent knows your clients, deal stages, response templates, and escalation protocols.
