There are valid concerns when it comes to how we use agents today and how we should prepare to use them in future. 1️⃣ AI agents as ‘research assistants’, 2️⃣ Agentic workflows, some involving human-in-the-loop systems. 3️⃣ Safety nets, such as ‘undo’.

Agents can seem a bit like wizardry, so I've been working on an intro 💚 🧙 The way I like to explain it is by comparing most LLMs in agentic AI applications today to a wizard with a spell book (tools). It's been granted instructions for bunch of spells 🪄 Read on here: weaviate.io/blog/ai-agents

Why would you want to use Agentic RAG instead of 'normal' RAG? Agentic RAG is, in contrast to normal RAG, using agents to make a decision on what to do, instead of following a pre-defined pipeline. Find out more: weaviate.io/blog/what-is...

Vanilla RAG is a straightforward pipeline: retrieve, augment, and then generate. But, agentic RAG? It's the strategist — planning steps, reasoning, and fetching exactly what's needed, even from the web or multiple tools!
