What is Agentic?
It is the ability of an artificial intelligence to plan and take action on its own, without human intervention, in line with the target given to it.
Overview
The agentic approach is that the system not only answers a question, but also determines the necessary steps to reach that answer. For example, when you're looking for a flight ticket, it doesn't just search, it compares tickets and tries to book on your behalf. This is the transformation of AI from a passive tool to an active assistant.
How it works
The system is given a purpose. Artificial intelligence divides this goal into parts, decides which tools to use, and tries to achieve the goal by changing its strategy if it makes a mistake.
Where it is used
It is used in autonomous software development tools, personal assistants, and complex business processes.
Commonly confused with
It can be confused with ordinary AI models; Casual models just answer the question, agentic models get the job done.
Frequently asked questions
Could this be dangerous?
If left uncontrolled, it can perform undesirable operations, so it must be monitored with guardrails.
Is every artificial intelligence agentic?
