AI agent — An AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.
grounding — Tying a model's answers to checkable sources — retrieved documents, live data, tool results — instead of letting it answer from memory alone.
Why it matters
Evidence that a generated codebase wiki works as an index rather than a substitute: wiki plus source scored highest at lower cost than source alone, while the wiki by itself did much worse.
