Tools have a predefined set of instructions and are more straightforward in their usgae. Most tools will require a file or short message that it will process to perform its job.

## **Agents** Agents are more **advanced**, **conversational** interfaces that can understand user queries and are more flexible with the execution of the task. Agents will have one or multiple actions that they can perform, each will require a file and/or a message.
