An AI agent wraps a model in a loop that plans, uses tools, observes outcomes, and continues until the task is done. In video work an agent might search an archive, run a detector, and compile findings, chaining many actions without step-by-step human prompts.

AI for Video: A Complete Guide to Intelligence in Video Products: From Real-Time Pipelines and Agents to Serving, Cost, Compliance, and Verticals
An AI agent decides its own next step, so in a video product it can search an archive, run a detector and report back without a person driving each action. Volume 7 covers agents as engineering in detail, loop primitives, frameworks, memory and tools, plus serving, cost per stream-hour and EU AI Act rules, so you can build an AI agent that stays predictable. Written by Nikolay Sapunov, CEO at Fora Soft.
