What is an AI agent
no jargon!An AI agent is a program that understands what you ask for in plain language and does it for you, instead of just answering you. The difference with a chat is that it can get into your tools — email, spreadsheets, WhatsApp — and run tasks from start to finish.
A chat answers you. An agent works
Asking is not the same as delegating. A chat helps you think; an agent helps you do.
Answers inside its own window
- You ask, it answers
- It gives you ideas, text and explanations
- You do the next step: copy, paste, send
- If you don't give it the context, it starts from scratch
It suggests how to do the weekly report.
Works outside it
- Gets into your tools: email, website, spreadsheets
- Finishes the task and hands you the result
- Remembers your clients, your projects and how you like things
- Works without being asked too, at the time you choose
It looks at your real data and sends you the finished report.
Under the bonnet, no jargon
When you ask it for something, it doesn't run a single query: it works the way a real assistant would.

Real examples, each with its own step-by-step guide.
Your personal assistant
It summarises reports, preps meetings, remembers commitments and helps you prioritise.
See the guideReplying on WhatsApp
It really answers what people ask, and only the people you choose.
See the guideBuilding and changing your website
You just ask for it out loud: it writes it, publishes it and keeps it up to date.
See the guideYour Monday morning numbers
It pulls together sales and campaigns and explains what has changed.
See the guideTasks that run themselves
Reports, reminders and alerts, at the time you choose.

If a task comes back every week, it's a job for an agent
You repeat the same answers, you chase information across ten tools, you build reports by hand and you pick up each client's context from scratch.
With one specific task that eats your time every week. When that works, the next one.
You don't need a big transformation: you start with one task and build from there.
Not all agents are the same
| Type | What it does | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Personal agent | Works for one person: their email, their diary, their tasks | Sums up your email and sets up your day |
| Project agent | Holds the memory and the documents of a project or a client | The one for the new website, which knows the page map |
| Support agent | Answers customers on WhatsApp, Telegram or email | Handles prices and opening hours and passes the tricky bits to you |
| Team of agents | Several agents that split the work and hand tasks to each other | Sales, support and admin, all coordinated |
Your AI agent, without building it yourself
Building an agent on your own means servers, installing software, connecting AI models and keeping it all secure and up to date. With hablo your agent is ready in under a minute: private, online 24 hours a day and with your data on servers in the European Union.
Underneath it runs OpenClaw, an open source project, so you're not tied to anyone. You choose the AI model each agent uses — or let it choose for itself — and if you get stuck, we stay with you until it does what you need.
