1. AI Agent

**Purpose:** Creates a smart assistant that can perform tasks and interact autonomously.

**Function:** Executes actions, responds to users, automates workflows, and handles assigned goals independently.

**Example:** A chatbot that schedules meetings, answers FAQs, or manages tasks on your behalf.

2. Orchestrator

**Purpose:** Coordinates multiple AI agents to work together toward a shared objective.

**Function:** Acts as a manager that assigns, sequences, and synchronizes tasks among different agents.

**Example:** An orchestrator that manages several AIs — one for customer service, one for billing, and one for logistics — ensuring they collaborate efficiently.

3. Guard Rail

**Purpose:** Defines rules, policies, and safety limits to keep AI behavior safe, focused, and compliant.

**Function:** Monitors and controls what AI agents can or cannot do; ensures ethical, legal, and secure operation.

**Example:** A system that enforces data privacy rules or restricts AI from generating harmful or unauthorized content.
