What are the hero use cases for AI agents? Reading the website, I don't see a good demonstration of what "AI agents" are and what they're good for.

AI agents excel in tasks like automating workflows, handling complex decision trees, and managing multi-step processes across APIs. For example, an agent can monitor a sales pipeline, send follow-ups, update CRMs, or manage logistics autonomously. See our demo here: https://github.com/picahq/onetool-demo.
This particular Oxide and Friends podcast includes a fantastic discussion of AI agents, the problems with their definitions, and at least one promising use case: https://oxide-and-friends.transistor.fm/episodes/predictions...
