What exactly is agentic AI?

Agentic AI is artificial intelligence designed to act autonomously toward a goal. Instead of just responding to prompts or offering recommendations, it can plan, make decisions, and take actions across systems to complete tasks and drive real business outcomes with minimal human input. In manufacturing, this means AI that can proactively balance supply and demand, adjust production schedules, resolve exceptions, automate routine ERP processes, and respond to disruptions in real time, helping manufacturers operate more efficiently, resiliently, and at scale.
