What is a self-service artificial intelligence agent?
Definition
A self-service artificial intelligence agent accepts ordinary task requests and maps them to available tools, instructions, or generated extensions. The user can obtain a specialized workflow without building the technical integration personally.
Self-service design should not remove governance. The harness still needs safe defaults, clear permissions, transparent changes, validation, and a way for users to inspect and reverse persistent capabilities.
