- A software agent is a program that has a degree of autonomy, meaning that it can evaluate itself and it's actions and make future decisions depending on it's past outcomes. Think of cell in your body responding to its environment.
- Multi agent is just like it sounds: many agents working together. This system, of linking many small agents of software together is one of the biggest hopes for developing artificial intelligence. think of all the cells (agents) in your body coming together and forming you (multi-agent).
-I love this stuff.
