Agent

An AI that works through tasks by choosing actions and using tools, without needing human direction at every step.

Artifact

Something an AI builds for you next to the chat, like a dashboard or document. You can edit it, refresh it and share it.

MCP

Short for Model Context Protocol. A standard way to connect an AI to other apps and data so it can look things up and use their Tools.

Microapp

A small app built to do one job, like running scenarios on live data. You make it by describing what you want to an AI.

Plugin

An add-on you install in one step. It gives an AI the Skills and connections it needs for a specific kind of work.

Prompt

What you type to tell an AI what you want, like a question or a request. The more context you give, the better the answer.

Skill

A set of written instructions, like a recipe, that teaches an AI to do a task the same way every time, so you don’t have to re-explain it.

Tool

Something an AI can use to do more than write text, like searching the web, running code or pulling in data from another system.
