PR Summary

Low Risk
Documentation-only addition with no application or runtime code changes.

Overview
Adds a new library article at what-is-an-ai-agent-definition-how-it-works-and-examples/index.mdx that defines AI agents, explains the reasoning–tools–memory–goal loop, contrasts agents with chatbots and raw LLMs, and walks through support, scheduling, research, and coding examples plus building on Sim.

The piece includes standard library frontmatter (SEO, canonical URL, ogImage, tags, author andrew, readingTime: 9) and four FAQ entries (LLM requirement, RPA vs agent, autonomy, multi-tool use). It cross-links related Sim library posts and docs (Agent blocks, Tables, Knowledge Bases).

Greptile Summary

Adds a new published library article explaining AI agents.

• Defines agents and their reasoning, tools, memory, and goal loop.
• Compares agents with chatbots, raw LLMs, and RPA.
• Provides practical examples, FAQs, and links to related Sim resources.

Confidence Score: 4/5

The missing cover asset should be added before merging because the published article and library listing will render a broken image.

The article is otherwise valid content, but its frontmatter points every cover-image consumer to a file that was not added.

Cover image asset is missing

When the published article or library index renders this ogImage, the URL points to an asset that was not added under apps/sim/public, causing a broken hero or thumbnail and an invalid image in crawler and social metadata.
