Agentic AI Is Ill-Defined
- The term "agentic AI" is ambiguous and used differently across vendors, creating confusion and opportunity for hype.
- Christopher Penn warns that lack of clear definitions enables vendors to rebrand existing tools as "agents" for profit.
Agents Are Engines Plus Car Parts
- Agentic AI wraps LLMs (the engine) with connectors, workflows, and business systems so the model can act autonomously.
- That architecture lets you scale from power user to manager of agents doing work without manual prompts.
Always Ask One Question At A Time
- When starting a new AI task, end prompts with: "ask me one question at a time until you have enough information to successfully complete the task."
- This forces models to gather necessary context and doubles AI result quality, says Christopher Penn.
