AI Agent Development Guide 2026: From Task to Safe Workflow
An AI agent is an application that recognises a case, picks the next step, calls a permitted tool and records the result in a system. A good agent has one area of responsibility, the smallest permissions it needs, a test set and a route to a person. At Syntalith an agent costs from €3,000 net. At 1,000 cases a month of 8 minutes each, it pays back in 0.9 months.
