AI Agents for business: what they are, how they work, and real use cases

2025 is the year of AI agents. If chatbots were the first step — answering questions — agents are the next: executing complete tasks autonomously.

Chatbot vs AI agent: the key difference

A chatbot responds to what you ask. An AI agent receives a goal and autonomously decides what steps to take.

Real business use cases

1. Level 2 customer support agent

• Autonomous resolution of 60-75% of incidents
• Average resolution time: from 24h to 3 minutes

2. Commercial research agent

Give it a sector and ideal profile. It finds companies, researches, identifies decision makers, and drafts personalized emails.

The key to a good AI agent is knowing when to act alone and when to ask for help.

Indicative costs

• Simple agent: €5,000 – €12,000
• Complex agent: €15,000 – €40,000
