  Nature Web Matters
To deal with a travel agent, you need to be able to talk about travelling, to interact with a florist you need some knowledge of flowers, and to deal with an internet agent you must share a vocabulary about the area of concern.
Intelligent agent researchers are watching these developments closely, and as the web becomes increasingly 'agent-friendly' more capable agents are being developed.
The good news is that many of the components to build such agents are beginning to move beyond research exercises and it is not hard to imagine such agents coming into common use in the next few years.

  Intelligent agent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computer science, an intelligent agent (IA) is a software agent that exhibits some form of artificial intelligence.
While the working of software agents used for operator assistance or data mining (sometimes referred to as bots), are often based on fixed pre-programmed rules, "intelligent" here implies the ability to adapt and learn.
In some literature IAs are also referred to as autonomous intelligent agents, although autonomy is generally assumed for agents.

 IEEE Expert Intelligent Agents Article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Third, various definitions of intelligence exist, but the main deficiency of such a label is that it does not sufficiently distinguish the resulting software from other technologies that may also claim intelligence as an attribute.
The point is that if it is claimed that to be an agent is to be intelligent, then we have still begged the question of what is an "agent" apart from all of the other intelligent software that has been developed.
With respect to agents, the "intelligent" label often refers to a concern with abstract, domain-independent theories of agent architecture and communication and/or aspects of human characteristics.

Commitments ensure that agents reason to achieve their intentions, however a commitment can also be dropped if it is considered irrational by the agent to continue acting for its associated intention.
The agents inhabiting the world are modeled as autonomous behaving entities which have their own sensors and goals and which can interpret the actions of the participant and react to them in real-time.
Guides are a simple form of agents who assume the roles of storytellers, and their success is to be measured not by the stringent requirements of full-blown intelligent agents, but against the softer criteria of plausibility and suspension of disbelief.
