Earlier this year, an article appeared in The Wall Street Journal titled “Everyone’s talking about AI agents. Barely anyone knows what they are.” It began with the premise that ‘Agentic’ is the biggest buzzword in Silicon Valley, but tech companies and enterprises lack a common understanding of its meaning.
