Types of AI agents

Quick answer

AI agents are usually grouped by how they decide: simple reflex agents, model-based agents, goal-based agents, utility-based agents and learning agents.

Simple reflex agents react to what they see now. Model-based agents keep track of what they cannot see. Goal-based agents choose actions that move toward a goal, utility-based agents pick the best of several good options, and learning agents improve from feedback.

In business, agents are more often grouped by job: social media agents, SEO agents, sales agents and operations agents. Planasol organises its agents this way.
