AI Agents vs AI Assistants: What's the Difference?

Author: John O'Dwyer

Episode 1:  AI Agents Explained:
What Every Enterprise Leader Needs to Know 


In this opening episode of our fireside chat series with High Performr, Ruleguard CEO John O'Dwyer and High Performr founder Ramesh Ravishankar unpack a question more compliance and technology leaders are asking: what's the real difference between an AI assistant and an AI agent?

Ramesh traces the journey from early chatbots (worth a 2-3% query deflection) through copilots to today's agents, which can own a task end-to-end and, in some cases, decide the next step themselves. John connects this to a bigger shift: every employee who currently manages people may soon be managing a small team of digital workers too.

Watch to understand where the agentic AI boundary really sits, before the conversation turns to governance and oversight in further episodes.
