What is an AI agent and how to apply it in your company's operations

An AI agent is a system that perceives its environment, processes information based on defined objectives, and executes actions autonomously — such as responding to requests, moving data between systems, and triggering workflows.

Why an AI agent is different from a chatbot

A chatbot responds. An agent acts. That difference defines what can be automated.

A chatbot says "your request has been received." An agent receives it, classifies it, checks conditions, routes it to the right person, and records everything in the system — without human intervention.

Where AI agents make the most sense in operations

• Triage and routing of service and support requests
• Lead qualification based on criteria defined by the sales team
• Extraction and classification of data from received documents
• Automatic customer responses on WhatsApp with escalation to a human when necessary
• Simple approvals based on rules and condition validation

How to deploy the first agent in practice

• Choose a process: start with the one that has the highest volume and clearest rules
• Define the scope: what the agent does, what it escalates, what it records
• Configure in the Agent Builder: describe the process and rules in natural language
• Monitor and adjust: run it supervised before granting full autonomy

Why Jestor solves this

• Native AI Agents and Agent Builder — no external integration required
• The agent accesses real operational data in Jestor's tables, cards, and records
• Human-in-the-loop support: the team takes over the conversation when the agent needs to escalate
• Companies like Rumo and Locaweb already operate with AI agents in Jestor

FAQ

Does an AI agent require programming? In Jestor, it doesn't. The Agent Builder is configured visually, without a single line of code.

Can an AI agent make mistakes? Yes — that is why supervised mode and human-in-the-loop are essential in the first weeks.

What is the difference between an AI agent and automation? Automation follows fixed rules. The agent interprets context and decides based on the available information.
