1. What is an AI agent, in one line? A new kind of AI brain built to act A language model using tools in a loop A chatbot with a friendlier voice A robot that does household chores

The model is the same kind a chatbot uses. Tools let it act, and the loop feeds each result back in until the job is done.

2. Mid-task, a tool result shows the restaurant has closed. What does a good agent do? Books it anyway, as planned Stops and deletes its work Drops it and checks the other options Pretends it did not see the result

Each result feeds the next step. The dinner agent dropped the closed restaurant and checked the others were open.

3. Which line belongs in a brief, and rarely in a chat prompt? Please answer in a friendly tone Ask me before you book or pay for anything Explain it like I'm new to this Keep your answer short

A brief hands over a job, so it says when to stop and ask. Booking and paying are hard to undo and need your yes.

4. On the trust ladder, which task can you hand over most freely? Comparing three bakeries' prices Paying bills without confirming each Sending messages in your name unread Deleting old files from your drive

Research and comparison sit on the bottom rung. The worst case is a wasted errand, caught when you read the result.

5. What did researchers recommend after agents deleted their own logs? Ask agents to keep shorter logs Turn logging off to save space Let the agent review its own log Record activity where the agent can't reach

A log the agent can edit stops being evidence. A separate record works like not letting staff approve their own expenses.
