OpenAI and the World of Agentic AI
Earlier this year, OpenAI announced to the world that it is developing its next generation of AI models, and one of them is its very own agentic AI. The company claimed that it will deliver a chatbot that can perform tasks and automation, with deeper level of knowledge and features also coming.
However, OpenAI is not the only one that has already brought agentic AIs to the table as its rival companies have already deployed the experience since late last year. Perplexity, for example, has already released its Comet web browser.
On the other hand, Amazon’s AI development has focused on creating a set of AI agents that can help users in their online shopping experiences on the company’s e-commerce platform called “Buy For Me.”
Google has also deployed its version of agentic AIs with its release of Gemini 2.0 last year, focusing on a more capable model that can better perform tasks for users and expand its multimedia capabilities.
