Most people are familiar with AI chatbots. You type a question, give them an instruction and they generate a response.
But agentic AI is taking things a step further.
Instead of simply responding to a prompt, an AI agent can be designed to plan a task, make decisions, use different tools and take multiple steps toward completing a goal with less human intervention.
That could have major implications for areas like software development, business automation, customer service, research and personal productivity.
At the same time, giving AI more ability to act introduces new questions around security, mistakes, permissions and how much control humans should give these systems.
So what exactly makes an AI system "agentic", and how different is it from the chatbots we're already using?
I put together a simple guide explaining what agentic AI is, how it works, how it differs from traditional AI assistants and why it could become an important part of the next stage of AI development.
