AI agents are evolving from deterministic solutions that require human commands to ambient agents which operate based on environmental stimuli. At the Cisco Live! conference, Harrison Chase of LangChain introduced these agents, which run in the background and can trigger actions without human input. This technology promises to enhance productivity by allowing millions of agents to operate concurrently, shifting away from limited 1:1 interactions. Ambient agents blend seamlessly into daily life, similar to smart home computing, enhancing user experience and efficiency.
"Ambient agents we define as agents that are triggered by events, run in the background, but they are not completely autonomous."
"These agents take cues from their environment to commit actions rather than waiting for human input."
