What is AI assistant?

Updated May 2026

An AI assistant is a software agent that uses an LLM to help with tasks through conversation. The most common consumer examples are ChatGPT and Claude.

AI assistants come in two shapes: general-purpose (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) and purpose-built (a customer service agent, a personal AI receptionist, a coding assistant).

For a one-person business, the most useful AI assistant is the purpose-built kind that handles customer-facing work in the owner's voice — answering questions, booking meetings, taking orders.
