• Handles one task at a time: Does not remember previous conversations.

• Easy to configure: Uses simple workflows or rule-based logic.

What is a Penguin Agent?

A Penguin Agent is an advanced digital assistant that uses artificial intelligence to understand context, remember conversations, and act more like a human helper.

Key Features:

• Can take initiative: Suggests options or performs actions without being prompted.

• Remembers context: Understands and uses previous interactions to improve responses.

• Handles complex tasks: Supports longer, goal-based conversations.

• Feels more human: Uses natural language and adapts to the situation.
