Prompt vs Product vs Assistant vs Agent

Pick the right level of autonomy

Choose a workflow that matches how much oversight you want—quick prompts, bundled products, guided assistants, or fully autonomous agents.

How to choose

Match the tool to your involvement

  • Prompts: direct, single answers.
  • Products: packaged experiences with guidance.
  • Assistants: collaborate with check-ins.
  • Agents: set a goal and let it run.

Prompt

Prompts

Single-shot instructions that return an answer or draft.

  • Best for quick research, rewrites, and structured outputs.
  • Low setup: just a prompt, optional tags, and context.
  • Great starting point before investing in automation.
