Yeah.

So first of all, Corey, what, in your opinion, is an agent?

Yeah, that's fair.

So what you're basically talking about is that I think even as soon as 2023, people were marketing agents.

And really what they were marketing was called an agentic workflow.

And I'm going to show a tool.

So you mentioned Zapier is one tool that people use for this.

Another one is basically N8N, and this is the popular one.

The reason it's popular is because it's open source, so anyone could download it and run it on their computer, but you can also just use it through the cloud.

It's no code.

So yeah, so N8n is similar to that.

And basically, you work via node with all these tools.

So you have a little node here that says when this trigger happens, you send it to the AI.

And as way back as 2023, people were basically, instead of having an agent here, they would do something like this where you just send it to, let's say, like chat GPT.

Then based on what the ChatGPT input is, it would go and it would spit out an output.

And then the node tool would take that output and then send it through this process.

And it's all kind of highly engineered.

yeah so so it was a highly engineered process where basically you whether you're a software engineer or someone who you know isn't but you were using the no code tool would put together the exact steps the formula essentially for how the ai would do stuff and n8n is a very popular tool to do that now the difference i think between what you're talking about and and what i just described

is kind of visualized here by this new node that N8N has created, which is called the AI agent node.

And in order for something to be an agent versus agentic, so in the previous example, I'm the one coming up with all the steps that the AI has to do.
