That difference is important. A chatbot is mostly a conversation layer. It answers questions, summarizes information, or helps users find something faster. Useful, yes. But limited. Agentic AI goes one step further. It can understand a goal, collect context, use tools, call APIs, check results, and continue the workflow. That is where things become powerful, but also risky.
