 # Introduction to Grafana Agent
 
-Grafana Agent is a vendor-neutral, batteries-included telemetry collector. It
-is designed to be flexible, performant, and compatible with multiple ecosystems
-such as Prometheus and OpenTelemetry.
+Grafana Agent is a flexible, high performance, vendor-neutral telemetry collector. It's fully compatible with the most popular
+open source observability standards such as OpenTelemetry (OTel) and Prometheus.
 
 Grafana Agent is available in three different variants:
 
-- [Static mode][]: The default, original variant of Grafana Agent.
-- [Static mode Kubernetes operator][]: Variant which manages agents running in Static mode.
-- [Flow mode][]: The newer, more flexible re-imagining variant of Grafana Agent.
+- [Static mode][]: The original Grafana Agent.
+- [Static mode Kubernetes operator][]: The Kubernetes operator for Static mode.
+- [Flow mode][]: The new, component-based Grafana Agent.
