What is an agent

One agent, one job

An agent is one autonomous helper with a job. You tell it who it is, then you tell it what to do.

PraisonAI calls that helper an Agent. A team of helpers is a separate idea, on a later page.

Example

from praisonai import Agent

agent = Agent(instructions="You are a helpful assistant")
