Discussion on the Development Prospects and Current Status of AI Agents

The year 2025 has arrived, and AI has become an indispensable part of our lives. However, many still have misunderstandings about the definition of an Agent. A true "AI Agent" project must follow these steps in its problem-solving logic: perception, thinking, and action.

Taking the AI Agent for automatic investment in cryptocurrency as an example, its working principle is as follows:

1. Perception: Get the latest crypto news
2. Reflection: Analyzing the Impact of News on Specific Cryptocurrencies
3. Action: Execute buy or sell operations based on the analysis results.

So, does the well-known ChatGPT meet the definition of an AI Agent? Although ChatGPT considers itself an AI Agent, it resembles more of an intelligent dialogue component, lacking full multimodal or physical environment operational capabilities.

In contrast, a true AI Agent typically has the following characteristics:

• Focus on solving problems in specific areas
• Able to obtain more data from the physical world.

Currently, there are various AI Agent applications available in the market, mainly including:

1. AI Investment: Cryptocurrency trading based on real-time news analysis
2. AI Virtual Companion: A dialogue system with a specific personality setting
3. Opinion Output: Provide professional comments and analysis for specific fields.
4. Virtual idols: AI-based digital artists that can release music works.
5. Market Forecast: AI systems specialized in various types of market predictions
6. AI Resource Sharing: Integrating various AI services to provide more cost-effective solutions.

At the same time, multiple AI Agent development frameworks have emerged, such as AI16Z, Virtual, and AVA. These frameworks provide developers with tools for the rapid deployment of AI Agents, while also introducing token economic models, forming a unique ecosystem.

However, it is worth noting that the current AI Agent field is exhibiting a similar frenzy to that of the early cryptocurrency market. Many projects focus more on token issuance and financing rather than on technological innovation. Nevertheless, the advantage of the cryptocurrency market lies in its ability to quickly achieve market discovery, with high-quality projects likely to stand out.

In the next 20 to 30 years, the development of AI technology will inevitably bring about more amazing innovations. We look forward to the birth of AI Agent products that can truly change the world in this rapidly changing field.
