AI is evolving beyond simple text-based interactions with humans. The next stage, agentic AI, envisions self-directed systems capable of spawning specialized agents that carry out tasks autonomously. While generative AI provides an excellent framework for humanlike interaction, agentic AI demands a robust back-end ecosystem where AI-to-AI communication can thrive without the overhead of human-friendly protocols.
Generative AI was revolutionary because it understood conversational context and nuance. However, it was designed for humans. When AI interacts with other AI systems or data sources that don’t require a human-friendly interface, a more streamlined approach becomes essential.
The Problem With Domain-Specific Agents
We’re seeing a surge in AI products that excel in narrowly defined tasks—healthcare billing, insurance claims, schedule management, personal digital assistants,...
