What is agentic AI?

“Agentic AI” gets used loosely. Here’s what it actually means — and why it’s a step change from the chatbots you’ve used.

What it is

The concept, in plain terms

An agent is an AI system that can pursue a goal: it plans, takes actions using tools, observes the results, and adjusts — looping until the goal is met. A chatbot responds; an agent acts.

Multiply that by specialization and you get a swarm — several agents with roles collaborating on one task, the way a team does.
