What is agentic AI? A plain-English explainer for BFSI pros
**Agentic AI** = an AI system that takes autonomous actions toward a goal without human intervention per step. Unlike chatbots (you ask, it answers), agents break goals into sub-tasks, call APIs/tools, loop on results, and re-plan. Example: a compliance agent that auto-flags suspicious transactions, pulls customer data, cross-references watchlists, and escalates to humans—all without being asked each step.
WHY IT MATTERS
Agentic AI is the next frontier for BFSI automation. Banks are moving from 'AI as chatbot' to 'AI as autonomous worker.' Deutsche Bank + Google Cloud's launch signals this shift is production-ready.
