AI Chatbot vs AI Agent: What is the Difference?
Written by Suhaan Singh Kushwaha • Kroma Code
Core Architectural Difference
The fundamental difference is action execution capability:
💬 AI Chatbot: A conversational interface that retrieves and outputs text answers to user questions (e.g. answering FAQ queries). It does not alter external databases.
🤖 AI Agent: An autonomous execution engine that plans, uses API tools, triggers webhooks, queries vector databases, and executes real operational tasks (e.g. creating CRM contacts, generating invoices, sending WhatsApp alerts).
