What Is an AI Agent? Here’s the Clearest Definition Yet l Dev in the Details
AI Agents Explained in 20 Seconds. No Hype, No Handwaving
Everyone talks about “AI agents” — but almost no one defines them clearly.
Rubrik Co-Founder & CTO Arvind Nithrakashyap finally breaks it down:
👉 An agent is a workflow
👉 Powered by a model that plans, executes, and refines
👉 Using real tools across your SaaS + internal systems
👉 Taking step-by-step actions, just like a human employee
No magic. No hype.
Just a model + tools + feedback loops = an AI worker that can actually get things done.
This clip is from the full episode of Dev in the Details, where we dive into the rise of agentic AI, enterprise risk, governance, and how global companies are preparing for AI-native operations.
