NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THE HELL AN AI AGENT IS

Summary from the TLDR Marketing newsletter

The chaos around AI agents stems largely from marketing, as companies dilute the term for hype and differentiation. Originally a technical concept, "agent" now lacks a clear definition. OpenAI, Microsoft, and Salesforce all have conflicting definitions. While this gives companies room to tailor agents to their needs, the lack of clarity makes it harder to set expectations and measure success.
