How to Spot Real Agentic AI (And Avoid the Hype)

We’re talking about a term that’s been making its way into boardrooms and vendor pitches alike: Agentic AI. It’s being positioned as the next leap forward in how businesses operate – helping teams make faster decisions, improve productivity, and streamline processes across departments, from finance to customer service. But as excitement grows, so does the confusion.

To help us make sense of it all, we’re joined by Yash Thakker, APAC Director of Solutions Consulting at Searce. We’ll explore what Agentic AI actually means, how it’s being used in real-world settings, and what business leaders need to consider before diving in.
