What is an AI agent?
A chatbot answers. An agent acts: you give it a goal, and it chains the steps on its own to reach it. Compare the two on the same goal. 👇

What this teaches you
Answering ≠ Acting
💬 The chatbot advises
It gives you an answer (ideas, a text). Then you have to do everything. Useful, but passive.
🤝 The agent executes
It breaks the goal into steps and carries them out (search, create, send). You supervise, it works.
