Autonomous AI Agents vs ChatGPT Plugins: Why The Difference Matters

Plugins answer. Agents act.

A plugin needs a human in the loop. An autonomous agent takes a goal and executes end to end.

What autonomous means in practice

• The agent decides which tool to use, when, and how often
• It loops until the job is actually done
• It learns from outcomes and adjusts
• A human only sees exceptions and reports
