Two words, one line between them

An AI assistant answers when you ask. An AI agent pursues a goal across several steps and can use tools on its own. Most explainers draw the line in about this place.

Where JUWEL sits

JUWEL is built as an assistant you talk to. Connected actions are the exception: they wait for your yes.

Today the server gates a calendar event and a mail draft. The server refuses those calls until a person approves the exact call, and the approval works once.

What that does not mean

JUWEL does not complete jobs on its own. Other approval cards in the app are product design, not the set the server enforces.

Limits

What this does not cover

It does not claim every action needs approval. Only the server-gated set does today.

It does not describe agents that run without a person present.
