Overview of Agentic Systems
Content
Introduction
Agentic systems represent a paradigm shift in artificial intelligence, where autonomous agents can perceive, reason, and act to achieve specific goals. This research explores the current state of agentic systems, focusing on:
- Memory management and context retention
- Pattern recognition and learning
- Task execution and orchestration
- System architecture and scalability
