Understand

Agentic Artificial Intelligence (AI) builds upon Generative AI (GenAI).

It constitutes the next major step in the evolution of AI with much stronger reasoning and interaction capabilities that enable more autonomous behavior to tackle complex tasks.
Since the initial release of ChatGPT (3.5), Generative AI has seen widespread adoption, giving users firsthand experience.
However, the distinction between Agentic AI and GenAI remains less well understood.
