Building Agentic Experiences

What is “agentic”?

An agentic experience uses AI to act on your behalf, not just to advise you. Four things define it:

Context: the system understands what’s relevant.
Reasoning: it makes thoughtful, adaptive decisions.
Conversation: it explains what it’s doing.
Action: it takes meaningful steps for you, not just suggestions you have to act on yourself.

Compare that to non-agentic AI, which stays advisory: it surfaces insights and recommendations, but a person still has to do the work.

Visual foundations are the atomic elements that bring together an agentic UI.

Voice experience is how the voice agent talks and sounds, by persona.

Chat experience is how agent-authored messages sound across agentic surfaces.
