AI Agents Mature from Chatbots to Runtime Task Executors

The frontier of AI agents has shifted from conversation to execution. Agents can now autonomously generate code, call APIs, process files, and manage complex workflows without human intervention, effectively becoming runtime workers rather than chatbots. This evolution exposes a critical gap: as agents take on more autonomous responsibilities, infrastructure—persistent storage, reliable execution, and networking—becomes just as important as the underlying AI model.
