Understanding AI Agents
What is an AI agent?
An AI agent on GuidanceAI is a specialised AI assistant trained for a specific domain. Unlike general-purpose chatbots that try to do everything, each agent focuses on a particular area of expertise -- giving you deeper, more relevant advice.
Think of it like consulting a specialist rather than a generalist. You get answers grounded in domain-specific knowledge and tailored instructions.
How agents differ from general chatbots
- Focused expertise -- each agent is built around a specific topic or skill set, so responses are more relevant and actionable.
- Custom knowledge base -- agents can draw on curated knowledge documents to provide well-informed guidance.
- Persistent memory -- agents remember what you have told them in previous conversations, so you never have to repeat yourself.
- Quality you can trust -- agents have ratings and reviews from other users, helping you choose the right one.
What categories are available?
GuidanceAI offers agents across executive-focused domains, including leadership, strategy, finance, operations, and more. Browse the Discover page to explore all available categories and find agents that match your needs.
Key things to know
- Each agent has its own set of instructions and personality, crafted by its developer.
- Agents can optionally include a dedicated knowledge base for even richer responses.
- Thanks to long-term memory, agents learn your preferences and context over time -- making every conversation more personal and productive.
- You can view an agent's rating, review count, and developer information before subscribing.
