What is Agentic AI?

Agentic AI is a form of AI that can sense, decide and act in pursuit of defined objectives with varying degrees of autonomy, collaborating with people and other actors to achieve desired outcomes.


Agentic AI represents the next stage in process automation. Rather than simply responding to prompts or executing predefined rules, it can plan, make decisions and carry out tasks autonomously within defined constraints, escalating to humans when necessary.


An example is an AI travel agent. A user specifies a destination, budget and travel dates, and the agent searches for flights, books accommodation, arranges transfers and manages the itinerary with minimal human intervention.
