What’s the real difference between an AI agent and an automated workflow? This post breaks down the key distinctions — and why they matter — as lean GTM teams look to scale smarter. Think of it as your no-fluff guide to intelligent automation vs. adaptive intelligence.

Adaptive Behavioral AI is the fusion of adaptive and behavioral intelligence — enabling AI agents that can learn, predict, and act autonomously.

As growth teams get bombarded with AI-powered tools, it’s critical to understand the type of intelligence you’re implementing, and whether it actually supports your funnel goals.
