      <title>AI Agents Explained: What They Are, How They Work, and Why Everyone's Talking About Them</title>
      <description>This deck breaks down what AI agents actually are (McKinsey's goal-driven, self-directed software), how they work through a perceive-plan-act-adjust loop, and why adoption is surging now (Gartner, McKinsey stats).
