An AI agent is an AI system that autonomously plans and executes tasks in multiple steps. At its core typically sits a large language model connected to tools – search engines, databases, APIs, email or browser automation. The agent decomposes a goal into sub-steps, invokes tools, observes results and decides how to proceed.
In recruiting, agents can research roles across multiple platforms, align profiles with current market information, prepare application materials or coordinate meetings. Clear task boundaries are crucial – agents only work reliably when goals are precise and tools well defined.
At the same time, autonomous execution amplifies the risk of errors and unintended behaviour. Safeguards are essential: tool limitations, logging, human approval for sensitive steps, and clear stop conditions.
Lunigi at its core works like a well-bounded job agent: profile as briefing, system researches daily, the person decides via email reply about each match.
