What is an AI agent?
An AI agent is a program that relies on an artificial intelligence model to carry a task through to the end: it understands a request, checks the company's tools and information, then replies or acts, on its own or after approval. It takes on a whole piece of work, such as answering a customer, processing an invoice or following up with a prospect.
What is the difference between an AI agent and a chatbot?
A chatbot answers questions in a chat window. An AI agent takes action: it finds an order, updates a customer record, prepares an invoice or schedules a meeting in your tools, and it handles requests where they arrive, by email or through a form.
Which tasks can you hand over to an AI agent?
Frequent tasks that follow known rules: answering customer questions, qualifying and following up with prospects, sorting an inbox, entering invoices, preparing quotes, keeping records up to date, writing reports. Scoping lets you choose the ones that give your team back the most time.
Can an AI agent connect to our software?
Yes. The agent works inside your tools through their APIs or through MCP connectors, the open protocol that links AI to software: email, CRM, management software, calendar, document storage. Simafri Suite and Simafri ERP connect directly, and we build the connector for a line-of-business application when needed.
How do you keep control over what the agent does?
You decide, action by action, what the agent does on its own and what it submits to you. Actions that commit your company, such as a refund, a quote or a promised deadline, wait for your approval, and every task can be reviewed in a log.
Is our data protected?
Your data remains your property. The agent accesses only the tools and information you open to it, and AI models are called through business accounts, under contract, which reserve your data for your use.
How long does it take to put an AI agent into service?
A few weeks for a first agent, depending on the number of tasks and tools to connect. It starts with the most frequent requests, then its scope grows at the pace you choose.
How much does an AI agent cost?
It is quoted, based on the tasks handed over, the tools to connect and the volumes handled. Scoping allows us to send you a precise proposal.
