Agentic AI
What is Agentic AI?
An AI system that can autonomously plan and execute multi-step tasks, using tools such as web search, code execution, or file management to complete a goal with minimal human intervention. Examples include AI coding agents and research agents.
Example in practice
An operations manager might deploy an agentic AI to gather supplier quotes, compare costs in a spreadsheet, and draft a recommendation email — completing a three-step workflow without manual handoffs.
