# AI Agent

An **AI Agent** is an autonomous, self-directed software entity – often powered by a **[Large Language Model (LLM)](https://stage.spiralscout.com/glossary/large-language-model)** – designed to observe its environment, make intelligent decisions, and execute actions to achieve a defined business outcome. Unlike simple scripts or chatbots, agents are capable of [**self-modification**](https://stage.spiralscout.com/blog/ai-self-modifying-code) and running in production. At Spiral Scout, we leverage the power of our [**Wippy platform**](https://stage.spiralscout.com/blog/ai-driven-automation-development-with-wippy) to build these intelligent entities to serve as always-on digital employees, drastically improving software development workflows and automating complex, real-world tasks.
