[Smartcat AI Agents](https://www.smartcat.com/blog/introducing-smartcat-ai-agents/) are specialized automation tools that perform specific translation tasks—like converting spoken content, [extracting text from visuals](https://www.smartcat.com/ai-agents/image-agent/), or [localizing subtitles](https://www.smartcat.com/ai-agents/media-agent/). AI-powered translation is increasingly the standard for enterprises, with the sector forecast to grow at over 23 percent annually through 2031.[2] Smartcat's AI Agents continuously learn from feedback to improve quality over time, helping you reduce cost, manual effort, and time to market while [securing your data](https://www.smartcat.com/security/). ### Do I really need to translate images? Yes— if your images contain text, translating them with the [Image Translation Agent](https://www.smartcat.com/ai-agents/image-agent/) ensures your message reaches all audiences equally.
