n artificial intelligence, an intelligent agent (IA) is an autonomous entity which acts, directing its activity towards achieving goals (i.e. it is an agent), upon an environment using observation through sensors and consequent actuators (i.e. it is intelligent).An intelligent agent is a program that can make decisions or perform a service based on its environment, user input and experiences. These programs can be used to autonomously gather information on a regular, programmed schedule or when prompted by the user in real time. Intelligent agents may also be referred to as a bot, which is short for robot.Examples of intelligent agents AI assistants, like Alexa and Siri, are examples of intelligent agents as they use sensors to perceive a request made by the user and the automatically collect data from the internet without the user's help. They can be used to gather information about its perceived environment such as weather and time. Infogate is another example of an intelligent agent, which alerts users about news based on specified topics of interest. Autonomous vehicles could also be considered intelligent agents as they use sensors, GPS and cameras to make reactive decisions based on the environment to maneuver through traffic.
