How AI Agents Differ From Agentic AI: What Businesses Need To Know
Businesses investing in automation are facing a growing challenge: understanding what AI is capable of now and what's coming next. This Forbes article explores the difference between AI agents (task-based systems) and agentic AI (goal-oriented systems capable of autonomous decision-making). Read the article to sharpen your AI strategy, and contact Mayhem Shield to start a conversation about where AI can drive the most value for your business.
AI agents are autonomous software systems designed to execute specific, goal-oriented tasks. They utilize tools like APIs and databases and are typically built on large language models such as GPT-4. AI agents excel in areas like customer service, scheduling, and email prioritization. They go beyond simply responding to prompts; they plan, act, and iterate based on user-defined goals. For instance, implementations like OpenAI’s Operator have shown to reduce customer support ticket resolution time by over 40%.
Agentic AI represents a more advanced architecture that consists of multiple specialized agents coordinated by a central orchestrator. Unlike traditional AI agents that perform single tasks, agentic AI systems excel in complex environments by enabling concurrent execution and dynamic planning. This allows them to tackle multifaceted challenges, such as supply chain optimization or research automation, more effectively. For example, a multi-agent system can significantly speed up the process of drafting grant proposals by dividing tasks among agents.
What challenges do AI Agents and Agentic AI face?
Both AI agents and agentic AI encounter notable challenges. AI agents may struggle with issues like hallucinations, brittleness in prompt design, and limited context retention. On the other hand, agentic AI faces challenges related to coordination failures, unpredictability, and explainability. Despite these hurdles, ongoing advancements are being made to address these issues, paving the way for more effective and reliable AI systems in the future.
