AI Glossary

AI systems designed to engage in natural language dialogue with humans, ranging from simple chatbots with scripted responses to advanced assistants powered by large language models.

An AI assistant embedded directly into a workflow tool (IDE, browser, email) that suggests actions, generates content, or automates tasks inline.

LLMs trained with reinforcement learning to "think before they answer" by generating internal chains of reasoning — producing more accurate results on complex tasks like maths, coding, and multi-step logic at the cost of higher latency and token usage.
