When it comes in terms of automating stuff and decision making, AI agents & Agentic AI are often mentioned together- but they don't work the same way.
AI Agents
- AI agents are task oriented i.e. it can only be used for specific task.
- Designed to perform tasks independently.
- Cannot help in decision making.
- Ex: Email organizer → classifies emails into categories (spam, promotions, important).
Agentic AI
- These are multi specialized agents that work together simultaneously. Capable of performing multiple tasks.
- Can communicate, collaborate, and adapt to changing situations i.e. agentic AI are capable of learning from user interactions.
- Ex: Healthcare agent which can both analyze documents as well as suggest us treatments.
👉 In short:
AI Agents = Specialists (narrow tasks, limited adaptability)
Agentic AI = Collaborators (multi-tasking, adaptive, decision-making)
