> Our litmus test for AI agents: Does the AI system perform actions under its own identity?
So service accounts are agents? This seems pretty thin.
In AI an "agent" is simply any code/workflow/automation that utilizes an LLM to respond to broadly defined external/environmental stimuli and decide how to react given broadly defined motivations and/or objectives.
Not agent: Document comes in -> If invoice return key-value pairs to make API call with.
Agent: Document comes in -> You're a finance professional: decided what to do with this document. Here are the tools/actions available to you: X, Y, Z.
Both use AI and can achieve the same thing, but one is "agentic", while the other is deterministic.
