The agent loop

How AI Agents Work for Business

An AI agent follows a task from start to finish - reading what is happening across your business, checking the relevant information and your rules, deciding what needs to happen next, taking action in your systems, and using the outcome to improve how the task is handled next time.

Silex agents run the full loop - read, decide, act in your systems, and learn from the result.

Questions

AI agents, answered.

What are AI agents for business?

AI agents for business are software that does routine work for your team without someone having to do it by hand. You connect an agent to the systems it needs and give it the rules it must follow. Then it handles the task on its own. Say a customer emails to move their booking to Friday: the agent checks that Friday is free and updates the booking itself. The customer gets a confirmation, and nobody on your team had to touch it. Anything unusual goes to a person instead. One of our agents does exactly this for an Orlando rental operator with 8,000 properties.

AI agent vs chatbot: what's the difference?

A chatbot talks. An agent does the work. For example: ask a chatbot to move a booking and it tells you how. Ask an agent and it moves the booking and confirms with the guest.

What does AI agent development involve?

Less magic than people expect, and more plumbing. We start by picking one task that eats hours every week. Most of the development is connecting the agent to your systems and writing down the rules it has to follow. It goes live with a person approving its actions, and gets more room once it has earned trust.

How much does AI agent development cost?

It depends mostly on how many systems the agent has to work with. An agent that answers questions from your website content is a small job. One that reads your ERP and raises purchase orders is a bigger one. Because the agent runs on your own API key (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or other supported models), you pay the model provider directly for usage, with no per-seat fee from us on top. We scope the price after a free assessment.

What if the agent gets something wrong?

You decide what it's allowed to do on its own and what needs a person to sign off. It works inside the limits and budgets you set, and every action is logged. So a mistake stays contained and is easy to trace back.

Is our data safe, and is it used to train models?

Your data stays in your environment and isn't used to train third-party models. The agent only gets access to what its task needs, and it runs on the models and infrastructure you approve.

Do we own the business AI agents, or is it a subscription?

You own them, including the workflows and the integrations behind them. The agent is self-hosted and runs on your own API key, so if you ever walk away, everything goes with you.

How long until an agent is live?

Usually 4 to 8 weeks for the first one. It starts with a person approving what it does and gets more training and freedom as it proves itself. The second agent tends to come faster, because the connections to your systems already exist.

AI agents vs rule-based automation like Zapier workflows: which do we need?

If the task follows the same steps every time, rule-based automation is cheaper and does the job well. Agents earn their place when the input is messy, like a customer email worded a dozen different ways, or an invoice that doesn't quite match its order. A rule breaks on those. An agent works out what's meant and acts on it, and hands the odd ones to your team.
