Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a chatbot and an AI agent?

A chatbot mainly answers questions. An AI agent plans multiple steps, uses tools, and can execute tasks such as research, file work, or code changes.

Which AI agent tools should I test first?

Start with tools that match your main workflow: coding, research, browser automation, or internal knowledge work. The LinkLoot list prioritizes tools with sources, community signals, and practical examples.
