Adi LeviimAgentic AI and ChatGPT: How Autonomous AI Systems Are Transforming Industries
Agentic AI describes systems that pursue a goal across multiple steps rather than answering one prompt at a time: they plan, call tools, check their own output, and retry. ChatGPT agent (agent mode) was the consumer-facing version of this; OpenAI says it is no longer available and points users to ChatGPT Work for longer, multi-step tasks and finished deliverables.
Agentic AI refers to artificial intelligence systems capable of independent, proactive actions across various tasks. Major technology firms such as Microsoft, Alphabet, and Amazon are investing heavily in this domain to revolutionize customer service and operational efficiency. However, while the technological advancements in Agentic AI are promising, the business models for monetization remain uncertain, presenting both opportunities and challenges for enterprises.
