Agentic AI

Agentic AI refers to AI systems that can plan, call tools, maintain task state, and take multi-step actions toward a goal.

Expanded definition

Agentic AI systems usually combine a model, instructions, tools, memory or state, planning loops, and guardrails. They differ from simple chatbots because they can decompose work, inspect intermediate results, call external systems, and iterate until a task is complete. Production agent systems require permissioning, observability, rollback paths, and evaluation because tool actions can affect real systems.
