By now, most developers are familiar with Generative AI, the kind that writes text, generates code, creates images, or summarizes data. It’s powerful, but it’s also... reactive. You give it a prompt, it gives you a result. End of story.
But lately, there’s a new player making waves: Agentic AI. And it’s not just a buzzword.
Here’s the key difference:
Generative AI creates content or suggestions when asked.
Agentic AI goes further — it takes initiative, makes decisions, and executes tasks autonomously.
Let’s say your AI detects low inventory.
A generative model might say: “You’re running low on product X.”
An agentic system might say: “I reordered product X, updated the inventory, and sent a restock notice to the warehouse.”
It’s the difference between assistance and action.
Between a tool and an autonomous teammate.
We explained this in a recent conversation:
Agentic AI vs Generative AI Explained Simply
If you’re building AI apps or exploring automation in your projects, this shift from suggestion to execution could be a game-changer.
Curious to hear from you!
Where do you see Agentic AI making the biggest impact? 🤔
