Agentic AI

Unlike generative AI (GenAI) that requires prompts to get results, agentic AI is an autonomous system that uses tools (including GenAI) to perform tasks automatically - that is, with very little or no human intervention. Agentic AI can independently set goals, plan multi-step processes, make decisions, and take actions to achieve objectives.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Ability of computer systems to perform tasks that usually require human intelligence, like learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and decision-making, enabling machines to understand language, recognize patterns, and act autonomously to achieve goals.
