AI Agent

Autonomous software that uses an LLM to plan, call tools, and act on behalf of a user.

Definition

An AI agent is an autonomous software program built on top of a large language model (LLM) that can plan multi-step tasks, call tools (APIs, filesystems, databases), and act on behalf of a user. In crypto, agents can monitor markets, execute trades, rebalance portfolios, and answer research questions. Spectre AI supports agent integration via its MCP server (81 tools) and x402 micropayments (pay-per-request API access without keys).
