Showing 6 of 6 tools
AI agents take a goal and work toward it on their own: they browse websites, use apps on your computer, call connected tools and complete multi-step tasks for you. This page compares hosted agents, browser and computer-use agents, tools that connect AI to your apps and open-source frameworks for running your own agents.
Agents or workflow automation
Workflow automation follows steps you define and is predictable, which suits most repeat business processes. AI agents decide some steps themselves, which helps with messy tasks like research, browsing or unusual requests, but they are harder to control. Many good setups combine both: a fixed workflow with an agent only where judgment is needed.
How to choose an AI agent
Test it on a real task you do every week and check how often it finishes without help. Compare which apps and websites it can reach, whether it can run on a schedule and what each completed task costs. Look for permission limits, spending caps, activity logs and human approval before actions that send messages, buy things or delete data.
FAQ
What is the difference between an AI agent and a chatbot?
A chatbot answers in the conversation. An agent can also take actions, such as opening websites, filling in forms, editing files or calling other apps, and keeps working through several steps until the task is done.
Are AI agents safe to use?
They can be, with limits. Give agents only the access they need, log what they do, set budget caps and require approval for actions that are hard to undo.
Can AI agents use my browser or computer?
Yes. Browser and computer-use agents click, type and read the screen to work in apps that have no integration. They are slower and less reliable than direct connections, so use them where nothing else works and watch them closely at first.
