# Overview

The AI Agent Control Layer is the foundation of Pilot.\
It abstracts away the complexity of wallets, chains, and protocols, enabling any user or application to interact with crypto through a single conversational interface.

Instead of manually switching networks, signing multiple transactions, or learning protocol-specific UX, Pilot routes everything through one agent layer that translates intent into secure onchain execution.

***

### Why It Matters

* **Fragmented UX** → Today, users juggle wallets, dApps, and bridges. Protocols must rebuild the same infra repeatedly.
* **Unified Layer** → Pilot standardizes this with a shared orchestration system for both users and protocols.
* **Future-Proof** → By combining natural language input with deterministic execution, the control layer scales from simple swaps to advanced automated strategies.

***

### How It Works (High-Level)

1. **User Intent** → A natural language request, e.g., *“Swap 100 USDC to ETH and send it to Alice.”*
2. **Pilot Agent SDK** → The control layer parses intent, applies policies/guardrails, and routes actions.
3. **Execution Layer** → Transactions are built and sent onchain, abstracted across chains and protocols.
4. **Feedback Loop** → Logs and observability tools ensure transparency, so users and protocols know exactly what happened.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pilotagent.org/ai-agent-control-layer/overview.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
