GUIDES

Should I build a chatbot or an AI agent?
A chatbot answers questions. An AI agent does the work: it can research, reach out, and take support actions, not just reply with text.
Choose by what needs to happen after the message. If the job ends with an answer, a chatbot may be enough. If the job needs follow-up, a booking, a lookup, or a task completed, you need an agent that can act.
What this looks like in practice

The Support Copilot project auto-resolved 68% of support questions, with a 4.7/5 satisfaction score and 54% less handle time. And the Sales Outreach project, which did the work of outreach rather than just answering, reached a 21% reply rate and 24 demos per month.
What to do next
Start with Agentic AI Systems if you want a system that acts, not just answers.
Frequently asked questions
Is an AI agent just a smarter chatbot?
No. The difference is action. A chatbot talks. An agent uses tools and steps to complete a task.
Do I need an agent for simple questions?
Not always. For simple, repeated answers, a chatbot is enough. Move to an agent when the work after the answer matters.
Can I start small?
Yes. Start with one job, such as support answers or outreach, and add more tasks once that one works well.
