Agents use techniques like reasoning. Instead of jumping to a conclusion, the agent creates a roadmap. If you ask an agent to "Research a competitor and write a briefing," it plans to: Search for the competitor's website. Extract product features. Search for recent news. Synthesize the data into a document. B. Memory (Short-term vs. Long-term)

is the context window—what is happening in the current task.

We are seeing the emergence of Subject Matter Expert agents. A "Legal Agent" doesn't just answer questions; it monitors contracts for compliance violations in real-time.

Human roles are shifting from executing repetitive tasks to acting as "Agent Operators." Your job is to set the objective, provide the tools, and audit the output.

Look for high-volume, rules-based tasks that require tool interaction.
