This is the idea behind an AI agent —a software system designed to pursue a defined goal, make decisions within its instructions, use available tools and carry out actions with an appropriate level of independence. Artificial intelligence has already transformed the way people write, learn, search and create. AI agents take the idea further by connecting intelligence with action. Instead of helping only with an individual question, they can help manage a complete workflow. But what exactly is an AI agen...

All I Have Is Yours, Lord: A Reflection on Grace and Gratitude

THE CRA PERSPECTIVE All I Have Is Yours, Lord A reflection on grace, gratitude, humility and the beauty of surrender What do I have that I did not receive? What can I truly claim as mine apart from grace? There are moments when we need to pause and look beyond our achievements, possessions, abilities and ambitions.

The same eyes that can communicate attention may now make you feel uncomfortable, challenged or intimidated. What changed? The eyes themselves did not change.
