Hey everyone, new here and trying to wrap my head around AgentGPT.

I keep hearing "agent" in all the discussions. Is it basically just a really long, detailed prompt you give to ChatGPT? Or is it something more that actually *does* tasks on its own? Like, if I wanted it to research budget tracking tools for me, would it just give me a list, or could it actually go sign up for trials and summarize them? (That last part sounds crazy, I know!)

I'm coming from basic spreadsheet automation, so this whole agent thing feels like a big jump. A simple example would really help!
