The AI Glossary

Demystifying the terminology of AI and automation for UK business leaders.

AI Agent

An autonomous software entity that can observe its environment, reason about tasks, and take actions to achieve specific goals without constant human intervention.

RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)

A technique that grants LLMs access to specific, private data (like your company documents) to provide accurate, grounded responses without hallucinations.

LLM (Large Language Model)

A type of AI trained on vast amounts of text data, capable of understanding and generating human-like language (e.g., GPT-4, Claude).

Workflow Automation

The design, execution, and automation of business processes where tasks, information, or documents are passed from one participant to another according to a set of rules.

Vector Database

A specialised database that stores data as high-dimensional vectors, allowing AI models to quickly find relevant information based on semantic meaning rather than just keywords.

API (Application Programming Interface)

A set of rules that allows different software applications to communicate with each other, essential for connecting your website to tools like Xero or HubSpot.

NLP (Natural Language Processing)

A field of AI focused on the interaction between computers and human language, enabling chatbots to understand and respond to user queries.

Hyper-automation

A business-driven approach that identifies and automates as many business and IT processes as possible using tools like AI, machine learning, and RPA.
