# Building Agentic Experiences

> Design guidance, patterns, components, and building blocks for building agentic AI experiences with Anvil2.

## 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.
