While generative AI systems excel at creating new content from existing data, agentic AI systems are built to pursue specific goals on their own. This distinction is key to understanding the future of workload automation, moving from content generation to autonomous, real-time decision-making. - [The evolution of agentic AI in enterprise automation](https://www.redwood.com/resource/agentic-ai-overview-enterprise-automation/): Artificial intelligence is no longer confined to predicting outcomes or generating content.
