AI agent vs chatbot: what is the difference?
A chatbot usually answers within a conversation, while an AI agent can be organized around a role, repeatable workflow, and connected tools. Evaluate the difference through permissions, triggers, review, and human accountability—not the label alone.
Compare the work
Ask whether the system has persistent context, tool access, schedules, escalation rules, and a defined output format.
When a chatbot is enough
For one-off answers, FAQs, and navigation, a simple chatbot may be the clearer and lower-cost choice.
When an agent workflow fits
When a repeatable task has defined inputs, output, and review, a role-shaped agent may be appropriate. Evaluate Taras on that concrete workflow.
