What is an AI agent?
An AI agent, as mentioned in the story, is a type of artificial intelligence designed to perform specific tasks or act on behalf of a user. The 'always-on' aspect means it's continuously available and ready to assist without needing to be manually activated each time. Think of it as a proactive digital assistant working in the background.
