Agentic AI
Agentic AI describes AI systems that plan and carry out multi-step tasks on their own, using tools and memory, with people setting the goals and approving the important decisions.
Earlier AI tools generated text when prompted. Agentic AI adds planning, tool use and follow-through: it breaks a goal into steps, executes them, checks the result and adjusts.
For a business, agentic AI is the difference between an assistant that writes a follow-up email and an operator that sends it, tracks the reply and books the meeting.
