Connected AI agents

Build AI agents that understand your system and act.

Connect AI agents to your system's devices, data and automations so they can understand what is happening and act using the tools you define.

An agent becomes useful when it can work with the system

A connected AI agent does more than answer a question. It receives the goal and the context needed to understand the current situation, then uses only the data sources and actions made available to it. Those tools might read a database, call an API, start an automation or operate a connected device.

Because the agent lives in the same project as those resources, its actions can lead to a persistent result outside the conversation. You can inspect what happened in the logs and refine its instructions or available tools as the task becomes clearer.

FAQ

Questions about connected AI agents

What changes when an agent can work with the data, tools and devices in a real project.

What is a connected AI agent in Vento?

It is an agent that can use the context, data sources and actions available in a Vento project. Instead of only returning an answer, it can consult information, call an API, start an automation or act on a connected device.

When should I use an agent instead of an automation?

Use an automation when the sequence and conditions are predictable. Use an agent when the system must interpret context or choose between available tools to pursue a goal. Both can work together in the same flow.

Can an AI agent use my data and control devices?

Yes. You decide which databases, APIs, automations and device actions are available to the agent. Vento keeps those resources in the same project so you can review the result and adjust its instructions or tools.
