Reddit user SmartBulldog shared an 'Anatomy of an AI Agent' infographic for non-technical clients: LLM=the brain (reasons, knows nothing about your business); RAG=brain+library (looks things up, grounded answers); MCP=the nervous system (one standard plug for tools and data); Skills=muscle memory (saved once, reused); AI Agent=the complete package (plans steps, executes in your tools). Handy for quickly explaining concept boundaries to clients.
