Agentic AI

Artificial intelligence systems designed to act autonomously to achieve specific goals by planning, reasoning, and interacting with their environment or other tools.

Explanation

Agentic AI represents a shift from passive AI models to active systems that can break down complex tasks into sub-tasks, use external tools, and iterate on their own outputs without constant human intervention. These systems often utilize a reasoning loop to evaluate their progress and adjust their strategy. Key characteristics include autonomy, goal-orientation, and the ability to use tools to interact with the digital or physical world.
