perform tasks on behalf of a user or business within a defined objective.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike a simple automation rule, an AI agent can work with information and context to coordinate multiple steps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"

autonomy depends on how the system is designed and what permissions it has.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The important difference is that AI agents can help move CRM from\u00a0<\/span><strong>recording activity to supporting action<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NASSCOM describes AI agents as software programs that can sense, assess, act and learn to pursue complex goals with a degree of autonomy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"

considerable amount of time on activities around selling rather than directly selling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These activities include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Checking new enquiries<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Updating CRM

first<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This creates a simple business problem:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>The more time salespeople spend managing sales administration, the less time they have for actual customer conversations.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AI-powered CRM can help reduce this gap.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:
