Unlike simple chatbots, agents can remember conversations, plan multi-step tasks, use external tools, and learn from interactions.\n\nRedis powers these capabilities with fast, reliable data storage and retrieval that keeps your agents responsive and intelligent.\n\n**Learn more**: [How agents work](agent-concepts/)"
