Clear filtersvoice assistant
A voice assistant is an AI system that responds to spoken requests and can carry out connected tasks or provide spoken answers.
abstention
AI abstention is the deliberate choice not to provide or act on a prediction when evidence, confidence, permissions, or operating conditions are insufficient.
accelerator
An AI accelerator is specialized computing hardware designed to perform the matrix and tensor operations used by AI training or inference efficiently.
agent blast radius
Agent blast radius is the maximum scope of data, systems, people, money, or other resources that an AI agent's error or compromise can affect.
Agent Client Protocol
Agent Client Protocol is a shared communication standard that lets client applications send tasks to AI agents and receive responses, progress updates and permission requests through a common interface.
agent collusion
Agent collusion occurs when AI agents coordinate in ways that undermine an intended rule, evaluation, market, or oversight process.
agent conversation state
Agent conversation state is the temporary record of messages, tool results, decisions, and intermediate context available within an AI agent session.
agent discoverability
AI agent discoverability is the degree to which an agent can find, identify, and correctly understand a product, library, capability, or authoritative information source.
agent environment
An AI agent environment is the bounded world in which an agent observes state, uses tools, interacts with others, receives feedback, and produces consequences.
agent gateway
An AI agent gateway is a shared control layer that mediates agent access to models, tools, data and observability services.
agent handoff
An agent handoff transfers an AI task, relevant context, authority, and responsibility between agents, people, sessions, or environments.
agent handoff prompt
An agent handoff prompt gives a new AI agent the concise durable context needed to continue a task without reconstructing the previous session.
agent infrastructure
Agent infrastructure is the shared technical foundation that lets AI agents run, use tools, manage state, coordinate and be evaluated safely.
agent iteration limit
An agent iteration limit is the maximum number of work-and-revision cycles an AI agent may use for a task.
agent memory audit
An AI agent memory audit reviews stored entries for relevance, provenance, accuracy, duplication, usage, scope, and expiry.
agent persona
An AI agent persona is the relatively consistent style, role, priorities, and social behavior an agent presents within a context.
agent rate limiting
AI agent rate limiting restricts how many actions an agent may perform within a defined period.
agent skill registry
An AI agent skill registry is a maintained catalog of reusable, versioned capabilities available to AI agents.
agent skill reuse
Agent skill reuse means applying saved task guidance again so an AI agent can perform similar work with less repeated instruction.
