Agentic AI involves goal-driven systems that can reason, plan, interact with tools, and adapt with minimal human intervention.These systems break tasks into subgoals, maintain state, call external tools, and operate over extended periods.Agentic AI's advancement is attributed to prompting techniques, memory augmentation, and execution loops.Frameworks such as ReAct, Voyager, and Auto-GPT have laid the foundation for autonomous AI development.Auto-GPT and BabyAGI, though innovative, faced initial challenges like infinite loops and unclear planning.Systems like HuggingGPT delegated tasks to specialized models and showcased orchestration of AI tools via natural language.Memory systems, self-correction loops, and multi-agent collaboration are key aspects driving agentic AI progress.Agentic AI faces challenges like limited context, unstable planning, hallucination, high cost, safety concerns, and alignment issues.Future agents are expected to remember experiences, improve reasoning, integrate with real-world environments, and have collaborative interfaces.Efforts like OpenHands and AgentBench aim to establish benchmarks and standards for evaluating autonomic AI.
