AI agents vs chatbots: what is the difference?

Chatbots answer; agents can also act. Why the difference matters for business risk.

The short answer

A chatbot mainly answers questions. An agent can also take steps: look things up, draft a message, change a record. The more it can do, the more it needs limits and approvals.

What Anchor does about it

Anchor’s assistants can retrieve, compare and prepare actions, but consequential actions are written as pending items for your approval.

Limits to know

  • Anchor does not run open-ended autonomous agents. Autonomy is deliberately limited.

Common questions

Is Anchor an AI agent?
It has assistants that can propose actions, always under your approval for anything with real consequences.
