Although still in its infancy, the term agentic AI is being heard more frequently. It refers to AI that can act autonomously to achieve goals, make decisions, and adapt to changing environments with minimal human intervention. Unlike traditional AI models that respond only to direct prompts, agentic AI systems are designed with a sense of 'agency': they can plan, execute multi-step tasks, interact with other systems, and learn from outcomes. These systems often combine reasoning, memory, and tool usage, enabling them to operate more like digital collaborators than passive tools.
