Day 21/42: What Is Agentic AI?

Yesterday, we compared workflows and agents.
Today, we name the shift.

Agentic AI means giving a model a goal, tools, and autonomy.

Instead of answering once, it:
plans,
acts,
checks results,
and keeps going.

This is powerful.
And dangerous.

Agentic systems amplify both intelligence and mistakes.

Understanding this line is what separates users from builders.

Missed Day 22? Important one.
Tomorrow, we change gears and talk model choices: proprietary vs open models.
