What makes an AI system 'agentic'
Three properties separate an agentic system from a copilot or chatbot: goal decomposition, tool use, and persistence. The agent owns the workflow end-to-end and decides what step to take next based on the current state.
- Goal-directed planning across many steps and turns.
- Tool use through MCP servers, APIs, or RPA.
- Memory that persists across sessions (working, episodic, semantic).
- Evaluation feedback that informs future runs.
Reference architecture
Implement Agentic builds agentic systems on a six-stage closed loop — Capture → Normalize → Memory → Reason → Act → Evaluate — orchestrated with LangGraph or the Anthropic Claude Agent SDK and tooled through MCP.
