A basic glossary of AI agents
A simple guide to the concepts that come up most when you start working with a Personal Agent.
- Personal Agent
- An AI system built to help you get real tasks done, not just answer questions.
- Tokens
- A way of measuring usage. In business terms, think of them as cost per useful task, not as technical jargon.
- Connector
- The piece that lets the Agent work with a specific tool, such as email, Analytics or a CRM.
- Automation
- A flow that cuts manual work on repetitive tasks.
- Context
- Information the Agent uses to better understand what you want, which tools it works with and what you are aiming for.
- Discovery
- The first phase, to understand which tools someone uses and which tasks are worth delegating.
- Quick win
- A small, visible, fast improvement that proves value without building something too complex.
