What is Agentic AI?

Agentic AI represents a paradigm shift in artificial intelligence, moving from passive response systems to autonomous agents capable of planning, reasoning, and taking action to achieve goals.

Key Characteristics

Autonomy: Agents can operate independently, making decisions without constant human intervention.

Goal-Oriented: Rather than simply responding to prompts, agents work towards specific objectives.

Planning & Reasoning: Agents break down complex tasks into steps and reason about the best approach.

Tool Use: Agents can interact with external tools, APIs, and systems to accomplish tasks.

The Evolution

Traditional AI systems are reactive - they respond to inputs with outputs. Agentic AI systems are proactive - they plan sequences of actions, adapt to feedback, and persist until goals are achieved.

This shift enables AI to handle complex, multi-step workflows that previously required human orchestration.
