AI Agent Glossary

Agentic AI

AI systems designed to pursue goals with limited supervision by planning, acting and adapting.

Agentic AI is the umbrella term analysts use for AI that takes actions toward goals rather than producing a single response. Gartner defines it as software that autonomously plans and executes tasks with minimal human intervention, and forecasts that 33% of enterprise applications will include agentic AI by 2028, up from under 1% in 2024. In practice the term covers everything from a single tool-using assistant to multi-agent systems.
