Generative AI vs Agentic AI vs AI Agents

We use the same word — AI — for three very different jobs. One writes your draft. One runs your process. One drives your truck. When teams say let’s add AI, they often mean one of these but build the wrong abstraction. Generative AI is a production engine. It turns a prompt into content. Agentic…

Agentic Pattern: Agent-Specific Context and Memory

In enterprise multi-agent systems (MAS), treating context and memory as a single monolithic conversation buffer quickly breaks down. The Agent-Specific Context and Memory pattern decouples and scopes memory hierarchies – ephemeral working scratchpads, session state, and persistent episodic/semantic stores – to individual, specialized autonomous agents. Rather than maintaining an ever-growing global blackboard or concatenated dialogue transcript, each…

Agentic Pattern: Sensing with RAG

In classical autonomous agent design (originating from control theory and cognitive robotics), an agent operates via a continuous loop: Perception (Sensing) → Cognition (Reasoning & Planning) → Action (Tool Execution) → Environment Feedback. While traditional Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is deployed passively to answer human queries, the ‘Sensing with RAG’ pattern repurposes semantic retrieval as an active, real-time sensory organ for autonomous agents. Rather than overloading the…

Agentic Pattern: Single Agent Baseline

The Single Agent Baseline (SAB) is the foundational architectural pattern for autonomous and semi-autonomous AI systems. It models a single cognitive loop where a large language model (LLM) acts as a centralized reasoning engine equipped with: In modern agentic engineering, the Single Agent Baseline is the mandatory control benchmark. Before justifying the distributed complexity, non-determinism, and token overhead…

Why System Prompts Aren’t Security Boundaries: Moving to Zero-Trust AI Agent Architectures

When autonomous agents move from text generation to mutating production state, executing dynamic code, modifying ledgers, or triggering payouts, traditional perimeter firewalls and system prompts fall short. System prompts are soft constraints easily bypassed by prompt injection or model drift. To run agents safely in production, we must enforce deterministic security controls outside the LLM…
