Agentic AI
AI systems that plan, use tools, and execute multi-step tasks with minimal human guidance.
What It Is
Agentic AI refers to AI systems that can plan, reason, use external tools, and execute multi-step tasks with a degree of autonomy. Rather than waiting for a single prompt and returning a single answer, these systems break complex goals into steps, call APIs, browse the web, read files, run code, and adjust their plan as they go.
Once confined to research labs and demo environments, agentic AI is now moving into production across enterprise workflows, developer tools, and consumer applications. The shift is driven by better models, better tooling, and the growing availability of MCP-compatible interfaces that let agents interact with real systems instead of just generating text.
