Conversational AI agents have come a long way from their early days of simple, scripted interactions. With the explosion of large language models (LLMs) like GPT-3, Gemini, and beyond, the landscape of human-computer interaction is undergoing a significant transformation.

These AI agents are increasingly expected to mimic human-like interactions, which demands a delicate balance between deterministic (convergent) workflows and dynamic, creative responses (divergent). This dual approach is redefining how these agents function across various domains, including education, customer service, and personal assistance.
