Agent mining

Agent mining is the use of computer programs, called agents, to help find information from large databases or websites. The agents search these databases or websites for specific patterns or characteristics. The agent can then use the information it finds to make decisions or report back to the user. For example, a user might ask an agent to search for shoes that are both blue and comfortable. The agent will then search the web for shoes that meet those criteria and then report back to the user with a list of shoes that match what they asked for.
