Glossary term
AI systems that can plan and carry out multi-step tasks with some autonomy.
'Agentic' describes systems that act with some autonomy: they plan, take multi-step actions and adapt to results, instead of replying once to a single prompt.
The degree of autonomy varies, from suggesting steps for a person to approve, to running long tasks mostly unsupervised.
The word signals a shift in how AI is used, from assistant to doer, and it prompts new questions about reliability and oversight.
