Agentic AI Defined
- Agentic AI is dynamic and provides unexpected, novel insights rather than just reactive outputs.
- It acts more as a reasoning partner than a simple summary machine like traditional Large Language Models (LLMs).

- Prompt AI explicitly to push back and offer unbiased feedback for better decision-making.
Use AI as Thought Partner

- Construct living instructions for AI to act as a thought partner improving decision quality and speed.
