AI agents are automated bots that can perform tasks based on commands and execute them using knowledge from LLM AI models, similar to those used in modern applications such as ChatGPT.
These bots can perform any digital task that the user commands them to do, such as making sales, acting as a virtual influencer, engaging communities, or even acting as a guide or companion.
These Virtual AI agents are also called Vertical AI Agents because they are generally created to perform specialized tasks, unlike generic AI models like ChatGPT or Gemini.
Top startup accelerator YCombinator thinks that these agents could face serious resistance from digital blue-collar and white-collar workers because of a direct threat to their survival.
