What is AI Agent?
Also known as: autonomous agent
An AI agent is a system that pursues a goal by reasoning, choosing tools, and taking multi-step actions — not just answering a single prompt.
Where a chatbot responds to one message at a time, an agent is given an objective and works toward it: it plans, calls tools, observes results, and adapts over multiple steps until the goal is met.
In Velaris, agents run against the capability mesh and pause for human-in-the-loop approval on consequential actions — so you get autonomy with a seatbelt, not a black box acting on your accounts unchecked.
