Agent Maker: from procedure to agent in minutes
In just a few months, the most popular word has shifted from AI to Agent... and it is no coincidence; in fact, it is the natural evolution of the concept.
Imagine hiring a new employee whom, at first, you ask to carry out simple tasks, and he/she is amazing. He/she seems to sense what you wanted even before you explain it, is precise, brilliant, and you ask him/her to do increasingly complex things. You would be crazy not to!
In the same way, not asking AI to perform more complex actions would be crazy; it would mean missing a great opportunity.
Thank you AI for the help you have given us so far, and welcome Agents!
Artificial Intelligence is a broad concept and includes any system that simulates human abilities, such as understanding language, recognising images, translating texts, producing texts...
In a nutshell, AI receives an input and produces an output, generates content (text, images, code), but stops at the answer; it does not act in the world.
AI is amazing, but passive: it waits for you to give it a task and carries it out.
An Agent is a specific type of AI that has one extra feature: autonomy. An agent includes Generative AI, to understand requests and communicate, but its strength lies in carrying out concrete actions in the digital (and sometimes physical) world.
It completes tasks autonomously, uses tools, makes decisions, performs actions and uses AI and Generative AI as its "tools".
AI is the brain. The Agent is intelligence, plus the ability to act autonomously: brain + hands + initiative.
Let's try to understand the potential of Agents through a practical example.

Create a presentation on climate change
What the Agent does:
The agent understands what you want and decides on the action plan
- Researches information (searches for up-to-date scientific data, finds recent statistics...)
- Structures the presentation (generates content, writes clear text for each slide...)
- Finds or creates images (searches for or, better, generates relevant images and charts from the data collected)
- Creates the file (uses tools to create the pptx file, applies a professional design or uses your corporate template and formats it correctly)
- Delivers (saves the file, sends it to you by email or uploads it wherever you want and asks you whether it is fine or whether you want changes)
Our generative AI Tool, AIDeskPro, has given us and is giving us great satisfaction, but it is eager to grow and improve: it will soon integrate an Agent Maker, a tool for the quick and intuitive creation of agents.
From idea to agent in minutes. No code, maximum control.
Stay tuned...
