Hint: What's the difference?
-
🔧 App: A tool that performs a specific task. It's a one-way transformation from input to output (e.g., summarising text).
-
🤖 Agent: A system that works towards a goal. It makes decisions and adapts its plan to get there (e.g., managing a support ticket until it's resolved).
The key is decision-making. If the system needs to decide what to do next, it's probably an agent.
