AI Agent
An AI agent combines a language model with tools and works toward a goal across multiple steps — typically in a loop of observing, planning and acting.

AutoGPT is an open-source experiment released in 2023 that runs a language model such as GPT-4 in an autonomous loop — it breaks a goal into subtasks itself, calls tools and works through them with minimal human intervention.
Browser use refers to AI agents that drive a real web browser — navigating, clicking, filling forms, reading content — to complete web tasks autonomously. The browser serves as both the tool and the perception surface.
Computer Use is a capability of modern AI models that lets them operate a computer like a human — see the screen, move the mouse, use the keyboard — to perform tasks across arbitrary applications without an API.
Ensemble means combining several deliberately varied LLM runs or models whose findings complement each other. Multi-model orchestration drives these runs via orchestrators with sub-agents, so the union of results is larger than any single run.
Function calling is a language model's ability to produce a structured function invocation instead of a text reply — the technical foundation for tool use and AI agents.
MCP — Model Context Protocol — is an open standard from Anthropic for connecting AI models to external data sources and tools through a unified interface.
Structured output is a language model's ability to deliver responses in a defined schema (typically JSON), reliable enough to be consumed directly by downstream code.
An invocation of a tool by an AI model during a conversation — such as reading a file, running a bash command, fetching from the web or calling an MCP tool. The foundation of agentic workflows.
