Chatbot vs Agent

They both use AI. But one is a tool, and the other is a worker. Let's see why that matters.

💬 Chatbot

✗ You ask, it answers — done

✗ No memory between messages

✗ Can't take actions

✗ Waits for your input

✗ Single turn interaction

🤖 Agent

✓ Perceives → Decides → Acts

✓ Remembers context & history

✓ Uses tools to do real work

✓ Operates autonomously

✓ Loops until goal is met
