# Overview

## What are AI Agents?

**AI Agents** are autonomous units designed to perform tasks, make decisions,
and communicate with other AI Agents. Think of it as a team member with
specific skills and roles that contribute to the overall goals of your
organization. You can conceptualize them as your **virtual employees**.

## Key Agent Components
