Autonomous AI agents could change the world, but what do they actually do well?

Autonomous agents are programs, powered by AI, that when given an objective are able to create tasks for themselves, complete tasks, create new tasks, reprioritize their task list, complete the new top task, and loop until their objective is reached.

In addition to analyzing their objective, and coming up with tasks, autonomous agents can have a range of abilities that can enable them to complete any digital task a human could, such as:

• Access to browsing the internet and using apps


• Long-term and short-term memory


• Control of your computer


• Access to a credit card or other form of payment

First, here a generalized framework for an autonomous agent :

1. Initialize Goal : Define the objective for the AI.


2. Task Creation : The AI checks its memory for the last X tasks completed (if any), and then uses it’s objective, and the context of it’s recently completed tasks, to generate a list of new tasks.


3. Task Execution : The AI executes the ta
