An AI agent is an autonomous system that can perceive its environment, reason, make decisions, and act to achieve a goal.

It does more than execute fixed instructions: it interprets context, adapts to situations, and continuously optimizes its actions.

An agent combines multiple capabilities that let it operate independently while staying aligned with human-defined objectives.

Agentic architecture describes how multiple AI agents are organized, coordinated, and governed to accomplish complex missions.

It defines communication flows, decision hierarchies, and control mechanisms between autonomous agents.

It is the foundation of next-generation AI systems capable of achieving objectives at scale.
