| Abstract: | The existence of jets in active galactic nuclei (AGN) at the lowest luminosity end is not fully established. When jet-like features are detected in high resolution radio telescope images, it still remains unclear if they are the same type of jets that are observed in radio galaxies or quasars. I will present observational results on "jets" in low luminosity AGN and discuss how similar or different they are from jets observed in the small minority of powerful AGN. These results are based on observations from a large range of radio telescopes going from VLBI arrays (VLBA, EVN, MERLIN) to the EVLA and GMRT which map spatial scales from milli-arcseconds to tens of arcseconds. The relationship between radio jets and emission-line gas will also be highlighted for the various AGN sub-classes, and whether this is the primary difference between different types of jets will be discussed.
