AI agent
An AI agent is software that uses a language model to carry out a task in several steps, such as reading inputs, deciding what to do next and acting in other tools, rather than only answering one question.
Where a chatbot replies, an agent works through a job: it pulls data, drafts, routes and reports. How much it may do on its own is a design choice, not a property of the technology.
