An agent is like a special helper who can do things for you. Imagine you have a toy robot that you can tell to clean up your room. This robot listens to what you say and then goes around picking up toys and putting them away. Just like the robot, an agent is a helper that can do tasks you ask it to do.

Think of an agent like a detective. A detective is someone who looks for clues and solves mysteries. If you lost your favorite toy, a detective would search all around the house to find it. An agent can be like that detective, searching for information or finding out things you need to know.

Another way to think about an agent is like a messenger. When you want to send a letter to a friend, you might give it to a messenger who will take it to your friend’s house. The agent is like that messenger, carrying messages or information from one place to another to help you communicate with others.
