What is Agentic Apps?
Agentic Applications
They are intelligent applications that can act on their own to make decisions on behalf of the user and achieve specific goals.
Overview
While traditional applications only execute your commands literally, these next-generation applications with autonomous features can make plans on their own. They determine for themselves which steps they need to take to achieve a goal you set, and use external tools if necessary. In this process, they minimize the need for human intervention and quietly handle your tasks in the background.
How it works
These applications work thanks to advanced large language models running in the background. They analyze the goal written by the user in natural language, break it down into small tasks, and call the appropriate tool for each task. They complete the process by evaluating the results they receive and deciding on the next step.
Where it is used
They are frequently used when planning travel, automatically managing your email inbox, or during code writing processes. Most of the autonomous assistants you review on TreScout fall into this category.
Commonly confused with
They are often confused with classic AI chatbots. While chatbots only answer your questions, autonomous applications can perform concrete actions on your behalf, such as researching on the internet and buying tickets.
Questions and answers
Do these applications run completely uncontrolled?
No, developers add certain limits and approval mechanisms to these applications. The system asks for your approval for critical decisions.
What is the difference from a normal application?
While in normal applications you have to manage every step by clicking, in these applications you only state the goal and the system handles the rest.
