Chatbot vs AI Agent: The Difference Explained
What's the difference between a chatbot and an AI agent? It's the most common confusion in AI right now, and it comes down to two abilities. A chatbot only talks: message in, text out.
An agent adds tool calling (taking real actions like searching the web or updating a database) and the ability to loop step by step instead of stopping after one reply. Bottom line: a chatbot answers a question, an agent is given a goal and goes and accomplishes it.
