Most people use the words "smart" and "intelligent" interchangeably - they use them to mean basically the same thing.

Some people feel that "smart" refers to inborn knowledge like understanding how things work in the world and "intelligent" means well-educated.

Both terms refer to someone who is better able to function by paying attention to information and using it to make their life better.
