Agentic – Definition

What is Agentic?

Agentic refers to the use of autonomous or semi-autonomous AI agents that:

  • Planning: Breaking down long-term goals into steps

  • Tool use: Leveraging APIs, databases, code generators

  • Memory: Maintaining context across multiple interactions

  • Adaptation: Adjusting strategies based on outcomes

Delineation

Agentic is not:

  • Chatbot interactions: Single-turn, linear dialogues

  • Prompt chaining: Simple sequences without stateful planning

  • Rule-based automation: Hard-coded workflows without learning

Pillar in WAF++ context

Agentic is part of the 8th pillar and addresses: * Agent architectures * Multi-agent orchestration * Human-AI interfaces * Safety and alignment
