In plain English
Unlike traditional Artificial Intelligence, which typically responds to individual prompts, agentic AI can break a larger goal into steps, decide what to do next, use tools or external systems, and continue working toward the goal with less step-by-step human direction.
Example
A travel planning agent could research flights, compare prices, organize an itinerary, and adjust the plan when conditions change without requiring you to manually direct every individual step.
