AI Agent Development questions
What's the difference between a chatbot and an agent?
A chatbot answers questions. An agent completes tasks: it decides which steps to take, uses tools to take them, and checks the results. Many projects combine the two.
How do you keep agents from doing something harmful?
Narrow permissions, a short list of allowed tools, approval steps before consequential actions, and full logs. We also test against tricky cases before giving the agent real work.
Which AI models do you use?
We pick per task. Claude and GPT models are our usual choices, and we test more than one before deciding. We avoid locking you into a single provider.
Can agents work with our existing software?
Yes, if the software has an API or an MCP server. For tools without either, we look at other options, such as email-based workflows or browser automation, as a last resort.
