Glossary: Agentic AI Chatbot Terms
Here’s a quick, A-to-Z guide to the most important phrases in the agentic AI chatbot space.
A
Agentic AI Basically, this is AI that takes initiative. It doesn’t need you to babysit it. It learns, makes choices, and gets better at customer support by itself.
Agentic AI Chatbot Imagine a chatbot with a brain. It doesn’t just read from a script. It remembers conversations, understands your needs, and can even help you finish shopping without asking for help.
Algorithm Just a fancy word for “the recipe behind the bot.” Molin AI uses algorithms to figure out what you really want and respond properly.
Artificial Intelligence AI means machines acting smart—talking like humans, seeing images, or making decisions. It’s how chatbots “get” what you say.
Assistants API Think of it like a set of building blocks. Developers use it to plug chatbot brains into websites or apps. Super helpful for customer support.
B
Bot Builder A do-it-yourself tool for making chatbots. It’s like using Lego for conversations. You can set up paths and hook in other software, often without touching any code.
C
Chatbot A program that talks to you—by text or voice. Old-school bots stick to scripts. Agentic AI ones think on their feet.
Chatbot Deployment Rolling out your bot onto your site, app, or social channels. Most folks see faster answers for customers once this is live.
Chatbot Flow Like a map for the bot. But with agentic AI, that map can change as the conversation goes.
Chat Widget A chat bubble you see on websites. Click it and talk to the bot. Super popular for online shops.
Conversational UI Any design made so computers “talk” like people and make chatting feel natural. Molin AI uses this to keep things human.
Custom GPT A tweaked version of the GPT language model. It’s trained for your brand or business. Molin AI agentic chatbot can use these for smarter, customized conversations.
D
Deep Learning A way for computers to spot patterns. It’s like a brain with lots of layers, picking up on trends in language—or even images.
E
Entities Bits of important info the bot digs out from what you say—like your name, dates, or specific products. Handy for quick checkouts.
Entity Extraction The process of finding those “entities” in your message. It helps bots guide you, even in tricky customer support chats.
F
Fallback Response A “sorry, I didn’t get that” answer when the chatbot’s stuck. Better than going silent—it keeps the conversation moving.
Function Calling Lets a bot do real work—like grabbing info from a database, filling out forms, or sending messages—without stopping for human help.
G
Generative AI AI that creates things (words, pictures, even videos) from scratch. GPT and DALL·E are examples. These power smart chatbots that come up with new content.
H
Hallucinations When the AI just gets it wrong. Like making up facts. Better data and filtering can keep this in check.
Human Fallback When the bot doesn’t know the answer, it hands you off to a real person. Molin AI has this safety net for sensitive or tough issues.
I
Intent What the user really wants. Figuring this out fast means fewer “wrong answers” and happier users.
Intent Detection Spotting keywords or patterns in what you type. The better the bot at this, the quicker you get real help.
L
Large Language Model (LLM) A huge AI trained on tons of text. It helps bots respond with context, not canned lines. LLMs power today’s top agentic chatbots.
M
Machine Learning Teaching computers by example—show them enough data and they start spotting patterns themselves.
Molin A company all about making AI easy and flexible. Molin AI agentic chatbot is their tool for smart, simple chatbots.
Molin AI A platform for building powerful, helpful chatbots. Features like function calling make it great for online shops and support teams.
Molin AI Agentic Chatbot This is Molin’s main chatbot. It learns, connects with other tools, and adapts with every chat to give users better answers.
N
Natural Language Processing (NLP) How computers understand what you actually mean when you talk (or type). Without NLP, chatbots would sound like robots.
O
Omnichannel Being everywhere your customers are—web, mobile, even messaging apps. Agentic AI chatbots work on all these channels at once.
S
Scraping Grabbing info from websites so bots have more data to work with. For example, loading up on product details for smarter answers.
T
Training Dataset The big bucket of examples bots learn from. The better the bucket, the more helpful the bot.
U
Utterance Anything a user says or writes to a chatbot. The bot breaks these down to figure out next steps.
V
Virtual Agent A software “helper” that does more than just chat—like finishing tasks for you, powered by smart agentic AI.
