Frequently asked AI & agentic questions
- What is agentic AI?
- Agentic AI is software built around AI agents that can reason, plan, and take actions toward a goal — not just answer a single prompt. An agentic system breaks a task into steps, calls tools or other agents, and keeps working until the goal is met.
- What does agentic mean?
- "Agentic" describes software that acts with agency: it makes decisions and takes actions on your behalf rather than only responding. An agentic AI reads context, chooses what to do next, and runs multi-step workflows with little or no human prompting at each step.
- What is an AI agent?
- An AI agent is a program powered by a language model that can perceive context, decide, and act — answering questions, calling tools and APIs, and completing tasks autonomously. On hashtag.org, GIGI is an AI agent that lives on your portal and answers visitors in chat, voice, and video.
- What is an AI chatbot?
- An AI chatbot is a conversational interface that uses AI to answer questions in natural language. A modern, agentic chatbot goes further than scripted replies: it is grounded in your own content and can take actions like booking, qualifying leads, and handing off to a human.
