    True AI agents are agentic AI, not just dressed up RAG. This little naming “technicality” is responsible for a whole lot of confusion in the market. Here’s why 👇: The buzzword of the day, “AI agent,” is being applied to everything from autonomous systems capable of independent decisions and actions to glorified FAQ bots. The resulting confusion makes it easy for companies seeking the former to end up with the latter, obscuring the full potential of the space. The major distinction between Agentic AI and RAGs (Retrieval Augmented Generation) is TALK VS. ACTION. Agentic AI can take action, reason through complex business policies, and “do stuff for you”. Whereas RAGs can only answer questions. It turns out agentic AI is still slightly difficult to build correctly, so you’re left with what I call THE RAG AGENT FAKE-OUT. AI vendors often resort to a RAG-based approximation reliant on hardcoded workflows, which comes with clear limitations, or requires tons of professional services. I wrote an article for Fast Company, breaking down the differences between Agentic AI and RAG, the technical challenges on why Agentic AI is hard, and what to consider if you are looking for a real AI agent. Hope you enjoy! https://lnkd.in/gFF-xmFW

    What is this new buzzword “Agentic AI”? Well only 20-25% of issues (say, in customer service) can be resolved through informational / FAQ-based AI on your knowledge base, using a technology called RAG (“Retrieval Augmented Generation”). This is where 90% of chat bots stop. Agentic AI is the ability for AI to take actions, reason, execute nuanced business logic, and resolve an issue end-to-end (“like a human agent” or “in an agentic way”). This is how you truly resolve the critical 75-80% of issues that take up the most time for your agents. At Forethought, we’re leading the charge in Agentic AI with the only fully-agentic product in the customer service market (a bold statement, I know, but one I’d be happy to back up if you want to take a demo; my calendar, personally, is open). This is powered by our patent-pending Autoflows™️ that we launched about a year ago. This has helped us achieve over 1 billion monthly interactions, and we’re just getting started. There is a lot of noise out there, with everyone launching a so-called “AI agent”, but these are just glorified RAGs. I sat down with Bloomberg Television to talk through what it truly means to launch Agentic AI. Check out a snippet of the interview below, and I’ll post the full interview link in the comments! Agentic AI is here. #ai #genai #agenticai #news #entrepreneurship #customerexperienxe #customersupport #customerservice
