Autonomous AI Agent
Quick definition
An autonomous AI system that independently sets goals, makes plans and executes actions in external systems without constant human supervision.
Detailed explanation

An autonomous AI agent is a software system that uses large language models (LLMs) combined with external tools, memory and an orchestration layer to independently execute complex multi-step tasks. Unlike traditional software that follows pre-programmed instructions, an autonomous AI agent can assess situations, make decisions, execute actions via APIs, and adjust its approach based on results.
