AI Bots
AI bots are software applications that run automated tasks via Artificial Intelligence algorithms. They range from simple scripted responders to complex autonomous agents capable of multi-step reasoning and tool use.
Key Characteristics
- Automation: Perform repetitive or data-intensive tasks without human intervention.
- Interaction: Engage with users through chat interfaces, APIs, or direct system integration.
- Adaptability: Modern bots utilize large-language-models (LLMs) to understand context and generate dynamic responses.
