AI Agent

AI Agent

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

An AI agent is a software system that perceives its environment, reasons over context, and autonomously takes actions to achieve a defined goal — without requiring a human to trigger each individual step. Unlike a chatbot that responds to a single prompt, an AI agent plans, executes multi-step tasks, uses tools, and adapts based on the results it observes. AI agents can operate independently or as part of larger multi-agent systems, and are increasingly embedded in enterprise software to automate complex workflows across departments.

LIZ AI operates as an AI agent for presentations: it perceives changes in your data, plans the necessary slide updates, executes them across your PowerPoint environment, and adapts — all without waiting for manual instructions.

Agent Memory

Agent memory refers to an AI agent's ability to retain and recall information across tasks and sessions. Two types are commonly distinguished: short-term memory, which holds context within a single agent loop interaction, and long-term memory, which persists across sessions and stores facts, preferences, and historical decisions. Memory is what transforms a stateless AI tool into a context-aware agent that produces increasingly relevant results over time — a core requirement for production Agentic AI deployments.

Blended Learning

Blended learning combines traditional face-to-face instruction with digital and online learning activities. A typical blended model might include in-person workshops supported by e-learning modules, video content, or discussion boards that learners engage with before or after class. Blended learning gives instructors flexibility to use classroom time for higher-order activities while delegating knowledge transfer to self-paced digital content, improving both efficiency and learner outcomes.
