What is Agentic AI and how is it different from other AI?

Breakdown

Most of us are familiar with traditional AI tools, but Agentic AI is a whole new level. Here’s a quick breakdown:
🧠 Traditional AI: Responds to direct commands (think: rule-based automations, simple chatbots)
🧠 Generative AI: Creates content such as text, code, or visuals based on your input or prompt (think: writing assistants, search bots)
🧠 Agentic AI: Autonomously plans and executes tasks by breaking down goals into actionable steps

So, what’s Nyck AI and how do we use Agentic AI?

Nyck AI is an agentic AI solution designed to help small and medium-sized businesses automate procurement tasks, saving time, money, and the headaches that come with manual work.
We're on a mission to put powerful AI in the hands of SMBs so they can spend less time managing spreadsheets, and more time scaling their business

Real-world example

A small business owner forgets to order critical stock for a key client.

Normally, this would be a scramble. With Nyck AI?
✅ Checks inventory
✅ Forecasts demand
✅ Creates a purchase order
✅ Emails the supplier

No reminders, no to-do lists, no spreadsheets.

If you’ve ever thought "I just need someone to take care of this”, that’s exactly what we built Nyck AI for.
