What are Agentic AI Agents?
An Agentic AI Agent is advanced conversational intelligence powered by a Large Language Model (LLM), designed to operate autonomously while adapting dynamically in real time to context, persona, and instructions. Unlike traditional intent- or rule-based systems, these AI Agents go beyond scripted responses — demonstrating flexibility, problem-solving capabilities, and proactive decision-making. In this guide, you will create a Logistics AI Agent to answer general questions and assist with parcel inquiries.1
Set Up Prerequisites
