An AI agent isn't a chatbot. It perceives, reasons, acts, and reports — coordinating tools and systems autonomously. Here's exactly how it works and what it costs.
What is an AI Agent?
Receives inputs from any channel — chat, API, email, webhook — and understands context and intent.
Uses an LLM to plan: what tools to call, in what order, with what parameters, and when to stop.
Executes tool calls autonomously — queries databases, sends emails, updates records, calls APIs.
Delivers the result, logs every step for audit, and escalates to humans only when truly needed.
What is an Agentic Autonomous Process?
A swarm of specialized agents working autonomously but interconnected like a network — each one perceiving, reasoning, and acting within its domain, while sharing context and results with the others to converge on a single expected outcome. This is why we orchestrate more than one agent.
Each agent decides independently — no central script. It plans its own steps, calls its own tools, and handles its own errors.
Agents pass context and results between each other. The output of one becomes the input of the next — forming a live data pipeline.
Despite acting independently, every agent is orchestrated toward a shared objective. The swarm resolves as one coherent outcome.
FORMAL DEFINITION
An agentic process is a chain of autonomous decisions and tool executions where the agent plans its own steps, executes them in sequence or parallel, handles errors, and delivers a complete outcome — without a human scripting every decision.

LIVE COST
What does an autonomous agent cost?
CLU charges for what agents actually use — tool units and runtime. Each tool call consumes 5 tool units.
One external tool call uses 5 TU — API query, DB lookup, email send, webhook trigger.
Active agent reasoning and execution time. Most flows complete in under 30 seconds.
Concurrent autonomous agents. Starter: 4 agents. Enterprise: 50 agents.
An agent that processes a claim end-to-end with no human intervention.
