An AI Agent is a software entity capable of perceiving its environment, processing data, and making autonomous decisions to achieve specific goals. AI agents can range from simple task-specific bots to complex multi-agent systems, such as those in Olympus AI, where each agent simulates different market participants like hedge funds, retail investors, and influencers. They can operate in financial trading, customer service automation, recruitment, and other business areas. AI agents learn from historical data, adapt to new patterns, and can execute actions faster than humans. In market simulations, they provide an unbiased environment to test strategies, while in customer support they handle inquiries instantly, improving response times and freeing human staff for complex issues.
