Each guide answers one question in a few minutes. Terms are defined in the glossary. For setup steps, see the Ando docs.

What is an AI agent?
An AI agent uses a model and tools to work toward a goal, step by step. How AI agents differ from chatbots and bots, in plain terms.
Ando agent vs external agent
Ando agents run inside Ando with nothing to host. External agents such as Dots, Hermes, Grok Bot, or Devin run on your side. How to choose.
Collaborative, shared, and teammate agents
Collaborative agent, shared agent, teammate agent: three names for an AI agent that works with a whole team, not one person. What each term stresses.
What is MCP (Model Context Protocol)?
MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is an open standard for connecting AI apps to tools and data. What MCP is, what it is not, and how Ando uses it.
