AI Agents

 An AI Agent is a software system that can: Observe → Decide → Act to achieve a goal.

AI Agent  =  Goal-driven software that takes actions based on observations.

Reads data (logs, sensors, messages, files, APIs)  -> Applies rules, models, or LLM reasoning -> Executes commands (API calls, device control, alerts, updates) -> Observes results and adjusts behavior (loop repeats)

Perception  ->  Decision  ->  Action  ->  Feedback Loop (repeats)

e.g., Clinical workflow agents (Medical), SCADA monitoring agents (Industrial Automation), Diagnostic agents (CAN, UDS) (Automotive)
