Introduction

Artificial intelligence is evolving at an unprecedented pace and is transforming how people and businesses interact with technology. Over the past few years, much of the focus has been on generative AI models, which can create text, images, code, audio, and other types of content from natural language instructions. These capabilities have marked a significant and transformative shift in how we perform many tasks, allowing AI to move from a specialized technology to an accessible tool for millions of users.

However, we are entering a new stage. Artificial intelligence models are no longer limited to simply answering questions or generating content. They can now be autonomous, understand objectives, analyze context, decide what steps to take, use tools, consult different sources of information, connect with APIs, execute actions, and collaborate with other specialized agents to complete more complex tasks.

This evolution is giving rise to what is known as agentic artificial intelligence, an approach in which AI systems can act with a greater level of autonomy and actively participate in business, technical, and operational processes. Instead of simply offering a recommendation, an agent can search for information, validate data, coordinate different activities, and execute a sequence of actions aimed at achieving a specific goal.
