Your team is already using LLMs like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude. However, while AI agents run on the same underlying models, they take multiple steps, use tools, and act toward a goal with far less turn-by-turn guidance.

This primer explains the difference in plain terms, so your team can adopt agents with confidence.
