In ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฐ, we saw the technology focus shifting from ๐—–๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ด๐—ต๐˜ (๐—–๐—ผ๐—ง) approach to ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฎ๐—น-๐—”๐˜‚๐—ด๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—š๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป (๐—ฅ๐—”๐—š), reflecting the need for precise, contextual responses in generative AI.

Building on ๐—ฅ๐—”๐—š, ๐—”๐—ด๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฐ ๐—ฅ๐—”๐—š emerged, adding ๐˜ข๐˜ถ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ด ๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ฑ๐˜ข๐˜ฃ๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฆ๐˜ด for AI to dynamically retrieve, interpret, and act on data.

As these technologies advanced, attention grew around ๐—ฆ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น ๐—Ÿ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ด๐˜‚๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ ๐— ๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—น๐˜€ and ๐—™๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐— ๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—น๐˜€, balancing task-specific efficiency with general-purpose adaptability.

This trajectory then accelerated toward ๐—”๐—œ ๐—”๐—ด๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐˜€ capable of more complex, interactive roles, paving the way for something I like to call ๐—”๐—ด๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฐ ๐—ซ โ€” a framework embedding agentic capabilities directly into applications, making them proactive, adaptive, and contextually aware in meeting user goals independently.
