Most people are still interacting with AI like it’s just a chatbot. You ask it a question, and it gives you an answer.

But the next evolution of AI is far more powerful, and it’s already here. It’s called agentic AI.

Agentic AI isn’t just about responding. It’s about doing.

In this post, I’ll break down what agentic AI is, where it’s useful, how to use it safely, and the practical steps to build your own agent.

Whether you’re a power user, a developer, or a product manager, there’s a way to start using agentic AI today.
