What is Agentic AI?

Agentic AI refers to AI systems designed to act as autonomous or semi-autonomous agents: they can set or interpret goals, plan and sequence actions, use tools (like web browsers, code, or APIs), make decisions based on feedback, and adapt over time to complete tasks. Unlike a purely reactive chatbot that only responds turn-by-turn, agentic AI is oriented around ongoing task execution—breaking down objectives, coordinating steps, and sometimes operating with minimal human oversight within defined constraints.
