Agentic AI refers to AI systems that can autonomously perceive their environment, make decisions, take actions, and learn from outcomes to achieve specific goals—without constant human intervention.
Unlike traditional automation (which follows predefined rules) or basic AI (which provides recommendations), agentic AI actively pursues objectives by:
