Agentic AI Is a Spectrum, Not a Product
DEV Community
EDITOR BRIEF
The excerpt explains that “agentic” means how much a system decides on its own, not a product category. Unlike generative AI, which produces outputs, agentic AI can affect what happens next, so mistakes can become real consequences. It argues that teams should ask how much autonomy a system has and what happens when it fails.
INSIGHTS
For learners, this helps separate chatbots that only respond from systems that take actions. A good next step is to map any AI feature by how much it decides on its own and where human review is still needed.
