Generative AI, Agentic AI, and AI Agents represent distinct yet overlapping concepts in artificial intelligence. Generative AI focuses on creating new content—text, images, or code—based on learned patterns. Agentic AI goes a step further, acting autonomously with goals, memory, and planning capabilities to complete complex tasks. AI Agents, on the other hand, are systems designed to perform specific tasks—ranging from simple chatbots to intelligent assistants—which may or may not be agentic or generative. Together, they illustrate AI’s evolution from passive tools to autonomous collaborators.
