What do AI assistants and Autonomous Agents have in common? While some might think LLM-powered Autonomous Agents are something entirely new, Autonomous Agents are a building block of AI Assistants.
To provide another perspective, I wrote an article about chatbots and AI agents because I noticed that for a long time (past 5 years) chatbots failed to meet expectations due to their inability to handle the complexity of human conversations.
This transition from “chatbots” to “AI Agents”can partly be seen as a rebranding effort, aimed at distancing these advanced systems from the shortcomings associated with their predecessors. But it also marks a pivotal moment. We are witnessing a departure of sorts, a generation of chatbots (and the frustration that came with them) is dying and replaced with something new (and hopefully better).
