How to Bulid AI Agents with Ruby for Free
Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the ability of machines to perform tasks that usually require human intelligence, such as decision-making, pattern recognition, and learning. AI agents are specialized programs designed to act autonomously, gathering information, analyzing it, and executing decisions without constant human input.
When combined with Ruby’s elegant syntax and robust libraries, AI agents become powerful tools for building U.S.-based applications in fields like customer support, healthcare, fintech, and automation.
