What to look for in an AI agent for general

The key questions: how autonomously does it operate (does it act on its own, or draft for your approval), which tools and systems does it integrate with, how is it priced (per seat, per usage, or enterprise), and who it is built for. Each agent above is tagged with its autonomy level so you can match it to how much oversight your team wants to keep.
